Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 I guess I started out backwards...I have had carpel tunnel problems for almost 20 years with it getting really bad in the last couple years. I had carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand two years ago and trigger finger surgery on my left ring finger 2 1/2 years ago. Now the RA. Somehow I'll betcha they are all related.

It never lasts long but is sharp.I had the same thing for awhile, and treated myself with a carpal tunnel wrist brace that I purchased at a pharmacy. Later I learned that many people with connective tissue disease have carpal tunnel from the systemic swelling. Mine just disappeared, but the brace was comforting when I needed it.S.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Yes, pain does radiate. When my shoulders bother me, it radiates right down my arm, almost to my elbow. ----- Original Message ----- From: snowdrift52003 Rheumatoid Arthritis Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 8:16 AM Subject: Re: radiating pain > One thing I haven't seen anywhere is radiating pain.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Thanks. I was wondering if they were related since I haven't found that info anywhere.
