Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi, I value your concern regarding the symptoms. I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion the symptoms can be due to carpal tunnel or a compression of the nerves at any level in the arm or forearm or even the cervical spine, one possibility of thoracic outlet syndrome also has to be kept in mind, I would suggest to consult a good peripheral nerve surgeon, as all investigations may not be abnormal initially
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
