Anser is aPatients may describe a history of trauma or, more frequently, strenuous use of the arm (>50% of cases). Common precipitating activities involve repeated hyperabduction and external rotation of the arm or backward and downward rotation of the shoulder. Causative activities may include participating in cricket, tennis, wrestling, lifting weights, water polo, gymnastics, baseball, or chopping wood. Because the symptoms of subclavian stenosis are fairly dramatic, most patients present promptly to the emergency department, usually within 24 hours. They may report dull ache in the shoulder or axilla, and the pain often is worsened by activity. Conversely, rest and elevation often relieve the pain. Patients with catheter-associated axillary subclavian deep vein thrombosis (ASDVT) report similar symptoms of the ipsilateral arm or shoulder with the indwelling catheter.
