Right hand burning pain and numbness.

Good morning, To follow up with my story, I finally had an EKG and was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel syndrome. Which led to surgery on my left wrist. All burning, pain throughout the body stopped the day after surgery. It took well over a year of horrific pain - between appointments to finally get my problem resolved. Hopefully yours won’t take so long.

@mebee That’s great that your carpal tunnel surgery resolved your pain. I had both carpal tunnel syndrome and thoracic outlet syndrome at the same time. They have overlapping symptoms and my TOS was missed by the surgeon who operated for carpal tunnel. That is common that TOS is often missed for years before a patient gets a correct diagnosis. For anyone going through this, it is worth asking questions on how these conditions are identified and who the best doctors are for TOS as most doctors don’t understand it because they don’t spend much time on it in med school according to my neurologist.
