thoracic outlet syndrome<\/a>. This condition may cause tingling, numbness, and weakness in the arm,\u00a0 as well as a loss of feeling in the hands. In some cases, the left arm may swell, and the patient experiences sensations of tightness around the shoulder bicep and elbow joint.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nVascular thoracic outlet syndrome occurs due to a compression of the blood vessels under the collar bone. This compressive force may occur due to repetitive injury, such as overuse of a computer mouse without a protective wrist pad. Another common cause of the condition is sudden trauma to the shoulder or collarbone, resulting in damage to the blood vessels, trapping the nerves in this area.
