Hand Tingling and Clawing

[Ange3]

I am a 51 year old female.  Lately both my hands and forearms have become very tingly.  This will last all day.  Plus, my thumb curls under.  I get tremors in my thumb, first finger and pinkie.  I type for a living, and I can barely type.  I have been tested for Carpal Tunnel a few years back, and it was negative.  I do have a large bone spur on my neck, and an MRI once showed some spinal stenosis.  I know, I will see my PCP... but I have a high deductible, and money is very tight.  Just looking for some answers.  TKS

I have it in both hands to I had Surgery on my right hand for a Frozen Finger or Trigger Finger, Then my other hand started acting up, I ended up having Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, I did not beleive it, BUT it was true, I would still go i n and find out to rule it out. The Longer you wait, the worse it gets, where you eventually not be able to walk. Before this I suffered from a "Frozen Soulder," for 2-3 years, then TOS. And Surgery.

Thank you, but I don't think that is it.  I have it in both hands, and it affects different fingers than TOS does.  My hands curl, my thumbs curl under, and it is hard to straighten them out.

I had the same thing you have I have recently had Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Surgery. University Vascular Associates. The Dr. removed on the Left side, A Clavicle Rib, and 2 scalene muscles. And I have also had 2-3 Angiograms to balloon open the Juggler vein, and Subclavian Vein. You might want to look up a Thoracic Outlet Specialist in your area. You can call me at 661-533-2583, If you would like to hear everything I have been through, it might be what you have.
