Burning in ALL 10 fingers? 🔥
Part 1
T4 syndrome typically presents as numbness or tingling in a glove-like pattern through the hands and forearms. It’s often bilateral, meaning symptoms are felt on both sides.
In her case, she described the sensation as more “burning” than numbness. Burning, tingling, and numbness are all different forms of altered sensation, and the fact that she felt it through all 10 fingers gives us an important clue.
When symptoms affect every finger on both hands, they don’t follow the distribution of one individual nerve, like the median or ulnar nerve. That makes us think more centrally and look farther upstream.
As I worked through the upper thoracic spine, pressure around the T4 region reproduced the same familiar burning sensation into both hands. That makes T4 syndrome a strong consideration in her case.
But we still don’t stop there. We need to check the lower cervical spine, first rib, clavicle, elbow, wrist, and all the muscles and trigger points along the way to understand the full picture.
