@save4forever Sounds plausible. Idiopathic would be a normal diagnosis by most practitioners after large fiber (and small fiber -- did anyone recommend testing for that?) has been ruled out, and it could happen in combination with carpal tunnel, although I'd be pretty amazed if the carpal tunnel were due to the zepbound. What are you planning to do next?
