I had breast cancer treatment in 2001 - by 2003 I had CPS in both hands, and finally cracked and got the hand done on the unaffected side. For reasons unknown, the pain went from the hand on the affected side. I occasionally get pins and needles in the affected arm/hand, but find that a few minutes spent doing some stretching exercises, and playing with a 'stress ball', helps to alleviate it. Weird!
