They look more like pedipalps to me, the second pair of appendages of the cephalothorax in Arachnida, homologous with mandibles in Crustacea, and corresponding to the mandibles of insects.
Although, I can see where the confusion arose... pedipalps of spiders have the same segmentation as the legs, but the tarsus is undivided, and the pretarsus has no lateral claws.

I've been bitten by a Brown Recluse too, and was an experience I DO NOT want to duplicate.
This is a common Orb Spider and is harmless.
