I just assume it is part of my degenerative rhumatoid.Damn that thing is ugly lol.. I'd let it go for s&g's..
Marty I can relate with that, I've been living with it for 15+ years now.. Any time I use my right arm in a position in front of me like driving, sitting at a desk on a PC etc, I lose blood flow to my arm. It's been that way for 15 years now but it has gotten really bad and now hurts in my neck and shit too. But yeah, numbness, pain shooting to your fingertips, being kept awake by it at night... That's why I have my card.
It's called Thoraxic Outlet Syndrome. The only treatment for it is to have your top rib cut out because it is cutting off blood flow in your thoraxic artery, but the scar tissue from the surgery causes the same symptoms.
The pain gets old, that's for sure.
I've had it all my life I think: diagnosed when I was 12 years old.
I'm used to living with pain 24/7; but that was brutal.
It finally gave up around 7 am this morning.
At least I made work feeling okay.
