Thank you so much!
I'm not sure if there is more than one thing going on at this point. I've pretty much ruled out any possible reasons for my symptoms.

Really, the only thing I can associate this injury to his the blood draw in October of 2006. I'm not an athletic person at all..I can't recall any other occurance which would cause any symptoms.

The doctors seem convinced now that this has been caused by a needle injury to my nerve when they realize how many other possible reasons have been ruled out.

So far, this Arm/Hand Orthopedic Dr. seems to be concerned with minimizing the swelling which may be caushing my nerves to act up through compression. That seems rational to me, but so far nothing has worked.

A specialist at the clinic had a look at the cervical in my neck yesterday and said she felt my shoulder and neck nerves were compressed because of my arm.


Thanx again for your kind wishes!
