Default Thoracic

Small finger and ring finger on the right hand are not numb but have the sensation of being slammed in a car door. (No other way to describe the sensation) Complete muscle wasting of the right hand and forearm now seems to be moving to bicep area of arm. Some pain in my wrist and elbow. In the morning I have some discomfort in right shoulder blade but that subsides after morning exercise. If I run warm water over the affected fingers, hand and wrist area the sensation and pain are minimized for a short time. Neruologist diagnosis is "Right lower cervical radiculopathy" Nurosurgeon calls it "Thoracic Outlet Syndrome" Nurosurgeon said there is nothing mechanically wrong so surgury is not required. This has been going on for one year but lately seems to be getting worse. No sevre pain mostly discomfort and total loss of strength.
