Tendonitis, Arthritis Or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?I went to the General doctor because another thing i had And i also told him about the pain on my hands I've felt. I did an X-ray And he said didn't show anything, but my blood test (which was for checking my joints) was positive. Then he referred me to a rheumatoid doctor (or something like that). he didn't know what could be once the x ray was ok. So, it's not tendonitis, right? could it be arthiritis or Carpal tunnel? I don't have insurance And the appointment with the other doctor will be just in 3 months, which I know it's too far And it can leave with a chronic problem. What could I do to avoid getting worse? I am a house cleaner And i know it's because of this. But i can't leave my job. which kind of those 'wrist gloves' i could use? i was using one the compress the wrist, but i just read it shouldn't be tight if it's Carpal syndrome. is there an anti inflammatory over the counter i could use? i used bengay And in the beginning worked out, but now, it makes the pain even worse. Thanks for the first answer, but i don't want to take pain killers, i want to fix it, or at least get rid of the inflammation. the x ray was of the wrist And fingers [ Read More ]

It Has Been Suggested That This Could Be Juvenile Arthritis Or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. What Do You Think?I have this non-stop, dull achy pain, that I have had since I was about 12 years old (I'm 17 now). It's mostly in my wrists And thumbs, And some of my fingers. Some times the muscles spasm (sort of) momentarily And I drop what I am holding And have worsened pains that last a few minutes. Also, my thumbs, wrists And fingers feel stiff lots of times. It makes it hard to write, type (not as bad though, I'd much rather type than use a pen), play the flute/clarinet/sax/piano And hold things. It's a lot worse in my write hand/wrist And the right is also slightly larger than my left, And I used to get ganglions on my wrist as well, but I have not had any for about a year. And now this has started happening in my knee, where it spasm And hurts. I don't know if this is relevant, but I also have a recurring blotchy, dry rash, that comes And goes And has since around the time the pain started. I'm not trying to self diagnose, I have an apointment in two weeks with my GP, I was just curious what you people think. [ Read More ]

How Do You Know If You Have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?I have pain in my right wrist that comes And goes. some days are worse than others And some days it doesnt hurt at all. It is right at the pulse point on my wrist, And hurts when I try to lift or make a pinching motion with my thumb And 1st And 2nd finger. Any ideas? I saw a doctor today And she thought maybe Arthritis or tendinitis, but made no mention of CTS. I was prescribed Naproxen And a wrist splint. Should I get a second opinion? [ Read More ]

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome... Where Should I Go From Here?I have been having pain in my hands for a little over a year And just recently my doctor thought it might be Carpal Tunnel syndrome. He suggested I have an EMG test done. The results came back And i did indeed have Carpal tunnel. I received cortisone shots in each wrist a little over a week ago And have gotten little to no improvement. What should be the next step, surgery? I've been wearing wrist splints at night And they don't seem to help... Could i possibly have another problem as well as Carpal Tunnel? If i bend down the first joint of every finger i experience pain And also a clicking sensation in my thumb. Is this common with Carpal Tunnel or is it something else. I have been tested for Arthritis And this is not the case.... [ Read More ]

Do I Have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?Hi there, I have recently realized that my fingers (first 3 And thumb) And my palm are quite weak. I'm only 19, I usually do a lot of biking (not that that would have any effect on my hands), I am an artist, And I have never fractured or broken a bone in my entire life. So back to my question, I have extreme weakness in my hand (excluding my pinky) And it makes me unable to grip anything easily. Again, I never broke a bone/ wrist/ arm/ etc. nor have I fractured anything... I have a pain (on my right now, sometimes my left) And its always between my thumb And forefinger (first finger/ pointer finger). It normally lasts about 20-40 minutes and, especially at the beginning, renders me unable to grab anything easily And work on anything. It's kind of a numb feeling And it sometimes makes me laugh because it feel so disturbingly messed up... My right forearm sometimes feels pain, but it is only on occasion. Usually never when I have this numbness/ strength-less-ness. I do do work on the computer, usually typing (and sometimes video games), but it never occurs when I am doing anything of that sort. It only happens when I am working on a project or when I am resting. So does this sound like Carpal Tunnel syndrome? Could it be something else? I just need some kind of reasoning... And I just need to know if it is sometimes common in teens? Will it effect anything in the future, like Arthritis damages bones And cartilage, will CTS do anything I would very much dislike?

Pain In My Left Arm, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?Since yesterday, I've had a terrible pain in my left arm, And numbness on the tips of my ring And little finger. And sometimes numbness sets in on those fingers. I'm thinking it's the fact that my left arm hardly does anything, my right arm And hand is basically what I do everything with. If I lay it on a desk or something, the pain becomes even worse. I also have an obsession with popping my fingers (which I think can be causing a problem too). Arthritis runs heavily in my family too. I'm only 13! Is it something like Carpal tunnel? Because my Mom had it too. [ Read More ]
