Thoughts? Medical diagnosis?
My daughter had this condition. It's more than likely thoracic outlet syndrome. It's a very serious condition that could end up causing blood clots and/or nerve damage if not treated. The short and skinny of it is a nerve, vein, and artery pass through the thoracic outlet and that bundle is being pinched or rubbed when the arm is overhead causing a stop or reduction in blood flow.
The first step is get the diagnosis and try physical therapy. This works for a lot of kids. Unfortunately for us, it didn't work and our DD required the surgery. The good news is she had the surgery last February and has made a full recovery. She had a personal best of 63mph two weeks ago. Feel free to PM me if you want more information.
She started showing symptoms at 13.What age did you notice this issue?
I've read articles where it reared it's ugly head at the collegiate level and I've read about it showing at my DD's age.What age do girls tend to get it?
How long did full recovery from surgery take?
This. DD had TOS surgery in Oct. There are some other threads on here as well. search here for blue hand. Ours started in sept of 19 and by summer of 20, it was numb, tingling, and swelling. It can cause vascular and neurological damage. Get it checked out asap. Good luck!My daughter had this condition. It's more than likely thoracic outlet syndrome.
