Both arms suffer from: -Constant numbness: armpits-elbows -Pulling sensations when reaching or pulling -Occasional bursts of sharp pain -My hands get pins & needles very quickly if I apply any pressure/bend at the elbows or hold my arms above my shoulders -Irritated when exercising (running,etc.) Surgeons told me: nerves would heal themselves, be patient.
