Like John, I was wondering if it could be carpal tunnel or other trapped nerve through wrist or elbow. Have they done an EMG of your arm! I hope you consider Physical Therapy regardless to see what exercises might help? Debbie

No it’s not carpal tunnel as stated by my neurologist who I saw 2 weeks ago.
He stated it’s due to my CIDP and involved the radial and ulnar nerves in my arm.

Hi Debbie,
I had carpal tunnel surgery and cubital tunnel surgery last Oct 31st.
My EMG Dr. said that I didn't have carpal tunnel but did have cubital.
Went ahead with both surgeries because pressing on the wrist made the pain worse.
I had had no pain relief. I believe it is probably now centralization of pain.
Touch nerve damage after so many years.
Tried to find an answer 5 years ago and wasn't taken seriously. Now I can't spread my fingers out like my left hand and have lost a lot of muscle because I can't put to much pressure on my fingers.
