Sever Pain In My Left Hand And Arm Posted: 10-03-07 05:42am
At night when I go to bed I get pain in my
left arm and hand that makes me jump out
of bed. After I get up the pain subsides
to just between my middle finger and ring
finger. I stay up for an hour, cool down,
try to go back to sleep and bam, it's
back. I can't sleep more than a few
minutes at a time. I am a carpenter so I'm
aware of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. This has
been going on for thirty three years. I've
been to the doctor many times but they
never suggest surgery even though the
specific test shows I have the problem.
Other odd symptoms are that when I go into
a big box store like Wal-Mart or Home
Depot my hands swell up, itch and turn
white. When I drive they swell and itch
but biting my fingers seems to help. They
last Doctor I went to x-rayed my shoulders
and perscribed Gout medicine, Vitamin D
and blood pressure medicine. I don't have
Gout or high blood pressure. The
pharmacist questiond me about it so I
didn't take the medicine or go back to the
Doctor. I just want the pain to stop.
