It seems as though the numbness is in all fingers, but it's the pain that always catches my attention the most along with worn out wrists. I try to stay off my laptop because is really strikes the symptoms, but it is hard to stay off my tablet! I read, talk to friends, etc. on it. We can't just stop our lives completely! Drying and fixing my hair is also really tough, makeup is even rougher (lifting arm motions). What symptoms do you experience in your legs/feet?

People that also might have chronic RSI's or Thoracic outlet syndrome often have issues doing hair and holding arms up for very long.
Always good to make sure there is no secondary condition or misdiagnosis.
With TOS and chronic RSI's nerves can be affected, and sometimes the blood flow also as both fit thru a crowded area in the neck/collarbone/ top ribs.
For more info see our Thoracic outlet syndrome forum & sticky threads there.
