I'm going with the flexors of the forearm. The typing and desk work likely led to overuse and tightness in those muscles, causing the hand and arm symptoms.

The scalene muscles seem like the obvious choice here. The neck sensitivity and the pins and needles in the hand point to nerve compression, which is often caused by tightness in the scalenes.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be the Flexors of the forearm since she types a lot at work, causing strain on those muscles.

I agree with Marla, the Scalene muscles can cause these symptoms due to their location and potential compression of nerves.
