Hello @wawryk01, these symptoms must be concerning and difficult to deal with. If you don't mind me asking, did anyone mention the possibility of a pinched nerve(s)? Have you had an injury or some sort of trauma on that side of your body or in general that triggered this pain and numbness? I am not a medical professional and cannot diagnose your issue, but putting your symptoms in to the Mayo Clinic symptom checker (https://www.mayoclinic.org/symptom-checker/select-symptom/itt-20009075), it gave a few more things that you could talk with your provider about: thoracic outlet syndrome, spinal stenosis or a potentially herniated disk. Of course these are just suggestions and by no way a diagnosis, but it may give you a few more things to research and to ask your provider about at your next appointment.

@wawryk01, did your provider mention what other potential things they were looking for in your blood work?

They did say it could be a pinched nerve or herniated disc, waiting on an MRI. They wanted to do bloodwork to check for MS, Lyme disease and auto immune first.
