Hello,
* As per my clinical experience, diagnosis of your condition is vital to determine the course of action to cure it.
* As there is a family history of protein S deficiency, I would suspect muscular dystrophy of some sort with nerve compression or involvement causing the upper arm weakness with fingers tingling.
* A very well directed approach with evaluation of creatinine kinase, nerve conduction study, electromyography and blood tests for particular antibodies would help to explore further guidelines in your case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
