I’m 65 WM right-handed. Looking back my PTS started on Jun 7th of 2023, pain in neck at 5pm, left scapula at 9pm and moved to left elbow by 12am. I had two recent surgeries with a lot of mental and physical stress. Through the spring I had very mild sore throat/congestion. On 6/13 I had trouble drinking with my left hand, clumsy. 6/18 numbness in left thumb and pins and needles on back of left hand. 6/19 much worse, wrist limp. June 30th had EMG and I was misdiagnosed with radial nerve palsy, aka Saturday Night Palsy. 8/6 pushed off with left arm and had shooting pain, then left thumb went numb. 8/29 EMG diagnosed with PTS. 9/9 After working hard in the yard I did have a mild momentary nerve pain shoot down my left leg when I stood up and multiple times since but much milder. 9/18 started Gluten Free, Alcohol Free, Dairy Free diet as PTS has an autoimmune component.

I was just reading your post after posting for the first time last night. Your comment makes me believe that you are seeing an immunologist. .It’s interesting different doctor tell you different things , the neurosurgeon and I saw told me it is not auto immune. And my neurologist told me that it could be , after reading last night on this sight and seeing your post I agree with you that it appears it is …I have auto immune issues so I will ask my immunologist about this in my case next month. I had carpal tunnel surgery in October and noticed changes in the dexterity of my hands several months later and elbow pain. Thank you for your post. I hope that you are feeling somewhat better. By the time you read this and I’ve seen some improvements..
