Suggest Treatment For Weakness In Arm Along With Numb Sensitive Cold Finger Tips
Hi,
I have mild stenosis in my neck, and possible thoracic outlet syndrome. My symptoms (at least three years now) are weakness in my right arm (muscles tire easily), and some numbness and sensitivity to cold in my fingertips. I play basketball twice a week, but have been unable to make baskets because I can't control the ball in my hand like I used to.
I go to a chiro regularly, have seen orthopaedic specialists, and had numerous tests -- with no conclusive diagnosis.
What can be done to heal the affected nerve(s)?
Thanks,
Paul
