Default Carpal tunnel

RATS!!!, I just realized I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my GOOD arm!!

I have been waking at night with horrible numbness and pain in my right [good] arm and kind of blamed it on the MS. Yet I knew it was a different type of numbness. My MS numbness is just 'there' but not painful.
This was [is] painful!

When I was at PT on Saturday, something the therapist mentioned and bing a little light bulb came on in my ever so slow brain ......carpal tunnel.

I see my neuro next week so I will have him evaluate and then get the PCM to put in an ortho consult.
Meanwhile, I dug out the old brace and am wearing it and it seems to be helping....so I haven't completely lost my diagnostic skills!!!

I have had a carpal tunnel release on my left hand so I know it is not too painful but my concern is how can I doing much of anything while my good hand is rehabing??

Going to be an interesting spring around here!!
