@patrick17 Yes, reading has helped. There just doesn't seem to be a lot of information available online. It was surprising, but I guess it's just not that common. I plan to ask my doctor how many cases he has seen at my next appointment. I get the impression that it won't be many. Luckily he checks with another doctor in the practice and I think that's why the diagnosis was so quick. Doctor #2 did my EMG and ultrasound. Very thorough. I so sorry that your pain has lasted this long and is getting worse. Thank you for the suggestions! I received a pair of compression gloves on Thursday. Although I measured per instructions, they seem too tight so will trade up to see what a larger size will do. Going to the library today to investigate books about pain management. Meditation as well. Normally I read on phone or iPad but touching these with my right hand is painful, so it's back to physical books for me. Thanks for the encouragement! I hope you find more solutions for your pain.
