I have recently had symptoms of what I think is carpal tunnel syndrom. Im getting some dull aching pain mostly in my thumb and index finger. They also have a slight burning sensation and the pain radiates through the center of my wrist and and acompanied by a tennis elbow type of feeling. The whole thing feels like a nerve pain. The only thing that took me by surprise, was how fast it came on. I have been doing medical transcription typing for about 7 months now. But I only type for a maximum of 2 hours a day and many times its not even that much. I know that typing is the number one cause of it, but it just didnt seem like I would get it from that much typing. I noticed about 2 weeks ago, my hands started to slightly ache from typing, but it would go away when i stopped. Then I feel like i woke up one morning and it just hurt, and ive had the pain for a little over a week now and its not improving at all. Does it sound like carpal tunnel for sure? If so, what can I do to improve it and also do you think its related directly to the tennis elbow feeling or would you think that is a separate problem?

Okay, to put it simply, I accidentally poked my thumb on the side with a pocket knife, and now it is very sore and every once in a while, I get what I can only describe as a "thread of pain" going from the poke, to the tip of my thumb, and then a few inches above my elbow joint on the inner part of my arm. I didn’t even poke it a millimeter and there was barely a drop of blood.Can somebody please tell me what the hell is going on with my arm?
Actually, I had a tetanus shot 3 years ago,so I am okay for that. However, ever since I poked myself, I have had a shortness of breath and constant cough. Don’t really think they have anything relating to eachother though.

Greetings, I have developed a pain in both hands and Arms. It started feeling like a tennis elbo but now I have pain in my hands and two of my fingers, number 2 and 4, when bent (with pain) they LOCK in place and I almost have to release them with the other hand (also with pain). Assume my thumb is #1. It all happened after I started helping in construction and lifting heavy objects. Thanks a million.

I think I may have de Quervians in my right hand/forearm and was wondering if putting a brace that’s used for lateral epicondylitis/tennis elbow over my mid forearm(general area of extensor pollicis longus & brevis, abductor pollicis longus) would relieve some of the strain on the tendons going to the thumb and across the wrist by shifting the tension back on the muscle bellies.

Ever since I came back from my trip to Oklahoma a few weeks ago I have been finding unexplained bruises on my body in the most random places. I had a couple just below the knuckle of my thumb, on my lower palm area, the side of my knee, on my leg and other random places. Some of them are explained, some of them are weird.

Some just look brownish and the aren’t tender an I think it’s really weird and I read in a book somewhere that bruising could be sign of some disease i think it was leukemia but i’m not sure. I didn’t think much of it because I did rigorous activity in OK. I have been working a lot lately and I have to do a lot.

I’ve also had some pretty sore joints around my ankles and wrists sometimes my elbows. My ankles would feel weird like they need to be popped or stretched or something but it doesnt work it just feels sore and like its being lightly pulled out of joint. My wrist have been doing it lately too.

A couple weeks ago when they were sore i was at the theater and when i was using the rail to pull me up as i took two steps at i time and that didnt help it at all it felt like someone was tugging on it really hard. like pulling it out of joint. i’m only 18 i dont know whats going on and im concerned about my sore joints. it might be nothing, might be that im not as active as i used to be but its been coming and going for awile now.

I’ve also been really tired lately even when i get 9 or 10 hours. Normally I cant sleep past 10 but today i slept till 1. it could be that i’ve been working a lot or my sleeping schedule is off and i’m not going to bed till 3 or 4 now. even at that i wake up at 10.

I don’t want to hear "go to the doctor." I know I need to, but I wanted to get some opinions on this. Here is some more detail, it’s kind of freaking me out.

Saturday, at a child’s birthday party I was picking up kids by their hands and swinging them in circles like a helicopter ride. I felt fine. Shortly afterwards, I started playing Wii with the kids. About 5 minutes into it, I noticed my lower bicep muscle and the joint opposite the elbow was sore and I was having trouble moving it.

Since then my right thumb and pointer finger have gone numb. I noticed today that I cannot flex my bicep muscle. It’s almost like it is gone. When I feel the left bicep, I can tell it is muscle without flexing. When I feel my right bicep, it feels like jello and is very sore.

What could this be?
BTW…I can barely touch my nose or face with the injured arm. It has lost flexibility and strength. I can’t pick up my infant twins without grimmacing in pain.

I have a dr’s appt on tuesday, and I’m not using this for medical advice, but the last couple weeks I’ve had problems with both my hands going numb, and it’s hard to “wake them up”. Also, my right arm is KILLING me. The elbow area and upper arm area.

IDK what it is, it could be a pinched nerve, it could be carpal tunnel, it could be tennis elbow. I guess i’ll find out tuesday, but the only way I can describe the pain in my right arm is…sciatica on both sides of my arm, into my pinky & thumb. anyone else have these symptoms?

I’m wondering if i’ll have to see a specialist, i’m just in a ton of pain, so i’m going to stop typing & ice my elbow.

Thanks in advance!
