when they did the ncs they only tested my wrist and elbow area. and then the mri of my neck was normal, the "strength" in my hands appears normal but i know something is wrong. my arms and hands are extremely fatigued. the neuro said maybe small fiber neuropathy but ive heard that wouldnt make my hands this tired.

i had a stereoid injection in my carpal tunnel once and it didnt do anything either.

i might go to another neuro or physiatrist. this was at emory which is discouraging...its not easy to find someone who thinks outside of the box and isnt a scam artist or a quack
The arm fatigue part could be narrowing of that subclavian artery or vein. I have severe narrowing of sub artery and get heavy tired feeling in forearm & hand mostly when raising arm up.
Where do u live? I recommend u find a tos specialist. Neurologists usually don't do proper tests to dx tos. Just give u nerve meds & emg s that's what they do.
