Carpal tunnel...of the whole arm????

[Guest guest]

Hi all. I know you can't get carpal tunnel of the whole arm but then...what is happening to my arms then? I have seen my doctor twice, once he barely even said anything about it, the second time he finally sent me for nerve conduction studies...but I had to insist he do it. I will find out the results on Thurs.

I have had carpal tunnel for awhile and the last time I had the nc study done the dr said it wasn't too bad. Now...I know that they are worse, only thing is, I have pain all the way up into my shoulder, my elbows, my forearms, and even my biceps ache. Its no fun...and here I was just getting used to not being able to walk even less than before because I developed osteitus pubis (inflammation of the pelvic joint -yeah...there is a joint there!) and now I can barely do anything at all...I am so scared. Double bummer is...I am having even more trouble sleeping as I used to choke if I slept on my back, so I switched to my sides, and it got worse there...so I have now switched to sleeping on my stomach, my arms down by my sides and my face propped up so I don't get suffocated by the pillow. Again, I am scared. And sad. Because now I am losing even more of my life. This email took me 1/2 hr to

type...something I used to be able to do in minutes. I think the NS monster is winning this time
