If the EMG/NCV testing shows positive for carpal tunnel then most likely you do have it. called Double crush and /or triple crush.
Have you had therapy for the CT already and no improvement at all? It is so hard to say for certain if a CT release will resolve the hand pain or if it is partially due to the TOS also, it's such a fuzzy line... I used to have sharp stabbing, cramping pains in the backs of my hands- they also never fell asleep like CT usually does. If you can tell about the pain in your hands maybe we can help

was told to do a hand crawl up the wall with my hand, for the frozen shoulder/ bursitis , it didnt work. My shoulders hurt so bad i cry every day. The shoulders make knocking noise and crepitus, like a bone against bone noise. I take percocet, tizanadine, ibuprofen, naproxen, i was just changed from neurotin to lyrica, but i think i like the neurotin better, tramadol. Topically i have tried icey hot, flexall, blue emu, aspercreme, biofreeze, and therma patches. thanks for ur input on the carpal tunnel. Martina Last edited by martina; 03-07-2011 at 11:42 AM. |

My doctor at the time didn't do full EMG's and missed other nerve injuries. I also returned to same job and it came back every time. It has worked for other people.
