6. Fatigue in Arms and Hands
It is quite natural for our arms and hands to become tired after a hard days work. This is because the muscles get tired and need a rest, while the rest of our body will also begin to tire. In instances of vascular thoracic outlet syndrome, though, the patient is likely to start feeling fatigued in their arms and hands sooner than they otherwise would.
Muscles need oxygen and nutrients to keep on working hard and with the supply of these essential resources cut off then the muscles will begin to tire sooner. The patient should find the stamina in their arms improves again once the underlying cause is dealt with.
