I am a 31 year old female.  On Saturday I experience an itching and tingling sensation in my left thumb which spread to my hand.  I began having pain and the feeling like I was losing circulation up to my elbow by Saturday night.  When I woke Sunday morning there it was up to my shoulder.  My hand does not appear swollen and I have not had any trauma to the hand.  There is no bite and there is no rash.  I have visited 2 ER'S and an orthopaedic specialist in the last 4 days and no one has an answer.  I have been prescribed 4 different medications and none are relieving the pain
