A member asked:
I have ra. pain in shoulders and left arm. if i press too hard on shoulder the pain shoots down till fingers. then hand is somewhat numb. can this be arthritis related?

Yes: It sounds like an entrapment neuropathy if you can reproduce it by adding pressure. Talk to your rheumatologist first as other possibilities, even though less likely, will need to be considered.
