I notice much milder symptoms inside my left forearm (yes, inside, feels like its between the bones).

So now it has settled to a constant aching pain in my right arm. Constant tingling and numbness in back of right hand. I can make my arm hurt anytime I want. I have had some numbness and tingling along right jaw line and down neck, but that was only for one day.

Side note, and may not matter, I have always had a lot of muscle tightness between shoulder blades and upwards, thats where I carry my tension.

Please let me know what you think!
