Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You might be having compression of brachial plexus bilaterally which can be due to extra cervical rib or you might be having syringomyelia. Proper evaluation should be done with neurophysician's opinion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
