fingers curling up

My fingers on my left hand curl up and my arm clings to my side. Could this be my chiari?

  Dana...if it appears to be pinched but the EMG shows normal, could be something like EDS or Chiari causing a neuro issue....which u know....EDS can cause  inflammation too....

I have had issues with my legs swelling up , they looked like balloons....have yet to pin point what it is.

I have the same issue with my left arm and hand. RA dr says I have a pinched nerve in sshoulder and wrist. EMG test showed normal. I also have some issue at c2 which I'm waiting on apt for c2 blocks. My shoulder blade kills me and I do also have eds. My left shoulder is constantly swollen too. Wish I knew so I could help u and me
