Hi,

I have Fibromyalgia and thoracic outlet syndrome and it hurts like crazy to type or use hands. My toes are also starting to curve. My fingers have curved a lot more and go numb and are painful when I sleep. When I type I feel it in my joints so I don't understand why it never shows up in an x-ray and nothing ever shows in my blood. My ribs have recently started in with pain and worse when trying to sleep and deep breath and when I touch my ribs it triggers tingling in my fingers. I have tried everything but each conditions feeds the other. Anyone know of anything this could be. It doesn't look like Chronic Regional Pain pictures but I assume that is one of the options. I don't know that getting a name would affect treatment. I feel like I'm running out of time and getting more and more isolated, anxious, and depressed. 

Thanks,

Elana
