What Could Be The Cause For Pain In The Wrist And Lower Part Of The Fingers?

Hi I need help with my symptoms. So for 3 months I have been feeling a discomfort and tense feeling in my left hand and wrist. I have a mild pain in my wrist, in the center of my hand and in the lower part of my fingers. So after trying to guess what was wrong with me I finally went to a doctor and he suspected I had Carpal Tunnel, so I had a X-Ray, a Ultrasound and a EMG in my wrist, so after some time my results came in and the X-Ray and EMG came fine but the Ultrasound had a different measure in my median nerve but the doctor told me I didn t have Carpal Tunnel because the EMG was fine, So then he told me to get a bloodtest because he wanted to check for something else and the bloodtest came fine. I am going to go to the doctor again this week but I was wondering if you guys can give me some light in all of this and try to guess what s wrong with me. Thanks

Hi,

EMG was not a conclusive test for carpal tunnel syndrome. It gets deranged once you develop weakness in your hand due to prolonged disease. From your symptoms, it seems to be carpal tunnel syndrome as per my assessment. Better to get an NCV done to confirm the diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
