Pain can also be in the side of the neck, the pectoral area below the clavicle, the armpit/axillary area, and the upper back (i.e., the trapezius and rhomboid area). Discoloration of the hands, one hand colder than the other hand, weakness of the hand and arm muscles, and tingling are commonly present. [citation needed]
Pectoralis minor syndrome (PMS) is a condition related to thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) that results from the pectoralis minor muscle being too tight. [1] PMS results from the brachial plexus being compressed under the pectoralis minor [2] while TOS involves compression of the bundle above the clavicle.
Paget–Schroetter disease (which evolved from a venous thoracic outlet syndrome) is a form of upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a medical condition in which blood clots form in the deep veins of the arms. These DVTs typically occur in the axillary and/or subclavian veins. [1]
Along with feeling cold, if you notice “your hands have significant color change, numbness, weakness or pain, it could be from an underlying vascular disease, neurologic problems or Raynaud’s ...
Among the signs/symptoms are the following (different symptoms are caused by different nerves, such as the foot drop caused by the peroneal nerve [4]): Other HNPP symptoms can include: Partial hearing loss and facial numbness (cranial nerves can be afflicted by HNPP), intolerable fatigue and pain, sensation loss and muscle weakness in the hands ...
Cutaneous innervation of the upper limbs is the nerve supply to areas of the skin of the upper limbs (including the arm, forearm, and hand) which are supplied by specific cutaneous nerves. Modern texts are in agreement about which areas of the skin are served by which cutaneous nerves, but there are minor variations in some of the details.
There is a recurrent acute and chronic inflammation and thrombosis of arteries and veins of the hands and feet. The main symptom is pain in the affected areas, at rest and while walking (claudication). [1] The impaired circulation increases sensitivity to cold. Peripheral pulses are diminished or absent. There are color changes in the extremities.
Neurologic symptoms predominate and typically appear right away, even in the absence of a substantial clinical ischemia of the hand. All three of the forearm nerves can cause pain, paresthesias, numbness, and diffuse motor weakness or paralysis as symptoms. These deficiencies are frequently more pronounced distally and less severe proximally.
