my first ever symptom was in the right thumb - it completely seazed up and was extremely painful to move. Then 2 months later, excruciating dull aching pain in my right shoulder blade - this stayed with me 24 hours a day for about 3 months and slowly eased to coming and going. Symptoms have progressed and changed from my neck/back feeling very weak through to pain in my arm and some in R hand - coldness in hand/arm/shoulder blade.....little finger tremors now and i can feel a pressure and looks swollen sometimes!...the list could go on......
