As the result of an accident I have had chronic pain in my thorasic spine for years and a neck that feels like sandpaper on turning. Now for 2 years I have experienced aching arms and numbness in both hands, which sometimes lose strength. Gradually getting worse with both hands now feeling funny all the time. Sleeping is a problem and have to roll over lots and sometimes sit up and try to untingle my arms. For the first time I have just woke up and felt shooting impulses flying down my arms to my fingertips (felt like being wired to an electric fence). One surgeon wanted to operate for CTS and I have resisted another did not agree and said he thought it was Thorasic Outlet Syndrome. Have been to one Neurologist and now scheduled to see another. Anyone in a similiar situation.
