Is It Possible to Be Carpal Tunnel?????? Posted: 02-22-05 20:53pm
My hand started to get sore under my
pinkie finger, then went to my whole hand
( which was swollen by the next day),
then had pains shooting from my wrist to
my elbow, and a feeling of no circulation
in my arm and hand?????? First Dr.
Says possible carpal tunnel, next Dr.
Says it's all in my head. At one
point my hand had turned purple, and now
over 2 weeks later I still have the same
pains in arm and hand but Dr. Refuses to
do any other tests aside from the blood
tests he had done.

It could be reflex sympathetic dystrophy
(rsd in your hand), but you have to see
your neurologist or hand specialist to
confirm the diagnosis.
Most of rsd cases have traumatic injury
history, but not all of them.
Symptoms include: pain, swelling,
stiffness, disuse, color and temperature
changes in affected extremety (hand or
leg). It is very sensitive to any touch
even the wind blow. Sometimes this
diagnosis is controversial.
Narcotic drugs or ganglion block may be
benefit sometimes.
Please tell us what is the diagnosis after
you visit the specialist.
