Hi. I've been having tingling ,stiffness and numbness in my fingers and toes. It all started with my left pinkie being partially numb and progressed to both my left and right hands, especially the left pinkie, left and right index and thumb fingers.
My family doctor diagnosed carpal tunnel. Yet, I was referred to a neurologist for confirmation. The neurologist detected some minimal carpal nerve damage in my right hand and compression of the left ulnar nerve at the elbow. However, according to this doctor, the damage is not enough to cause significant symptoms. Uh?
Then, I went to the hand specialist, as per the neurologist. After an x-ray and exam, he sees nothing wrong and sends me back to my family doctor and physical therapy. I'm now set for a battery of tests... I'm really scared that something is really wrong with me especially because now I'm getting a similar sensation on my left foot.
has anyone shared a similar experience? What was the outcome? Any advice is appreciated.
