Like your spinal issues plus actual carpal tunnel or ulnar nerve problems. Or did you have surgery or treatments for those arm/elbow issues already? Our TOS forum has had posts in the past where they had surgery for carpal tunnel or elbow and still had pain due to impingement up in the neck chest area, the thoracic outlet/brachial plexus areas.. Some also had C spine issues too. So it gets very complex to get best dx & tx.. Is your whole spine involved and causing symptoms in your legs and other areas or just arms & hands? These images might be helpful for you. https://www.neurotalk.org/members/100-albums422.html

[multiple carpal tunnel issues and ulnar nerve entrapment too. Years and years of suffering to find this.
My wrists hurt in the carpal area typing this] Have you had an MRI & x rays to check your spine? If so how long ago? What did it show? ( you should be able to request a copy of the report. for your records.) If not, then next step is usually those tests to verify or rule out spine as a cause.. Cervical spine issues may point to hand/arms symptoms Lumbar issues may point to more legs symptoms You may want to explore our Spinal forum as well as our TOS/RSI forum.. What kind of work or sports or activity do you do? Past whiplash or shoulder/neck injury, repetitive or desk work posture activities can point towards TOS/RSI https://www.neurotalk.org/thoracic-outlet-syndrome/ https://www.neurotalk.org/spinal-dis...and-back-pain/ No use thinking it is spine or PN until you know for sure the true cause/s and if treatable or not.. Unfortunately many MDs are not up to speed on TOS or RSI soft tissue syndromes.. I assume you had PT after your surgeries? But the wrong kind of PT can make TOS/RSI worse & chronic.. Good PT needs to be ..very specific for your case & focus on reducing symptoms and pain..
