Sensation Of Squeezing In Left Arm, Had Carpal Tunnel Surgery, Had Injection Spine. What Now?
I also have the sensation like someone is squeezing in my upper left arm . I have been diagnosed with double crush syndrome . I had left hand carpal tunnel surgery a month ago and will have surgery on the right hand in february . I had injection in spine for a herniated disc in c 4 -5 , which did nothing to help but started PT a month ago and thats when the squeezing started .. i do have some time without pain in my neck but not much.. any thoughts on options as I do not want surgery on my neck... thanks
