Abstract
A 26-year-old female started having strange tingling and dull ache in her left arm. Her symptoms started at 17 years of age during her training to become a beauty therapist. She also noticed numbness in her upper extremities with elevation of arms above the shoulders. She put off these symptoms for a long time attributing them to physical exertion. Upon evaluation, her primary care physician incidentally found significant wasting of the hand muscles with prominent tendons, and decreased sensation of the arm and hand to pin prick.
