Hand and wrist problems whats wrong with me?

Question

Ive been having pretty intense wrist pain along with feeling loss in both my hands. My dominate hand seems to be worse most the time. I have had a EMG and the results were normal. This was done through works comp so I'm not sure how much i trust the doctor that did the test. I'm looking to confirm his results as normal and also looking for an alternate diagnostic. I am currently Icing my wrist 3-5 times a day as needed for pain along with Pain medication and anti inflamatory meds Tramadol hcl 50mg, Lyrica and Naproxen 500mg. What other treatments / tests can i do to get better? Anyone with helpful information will be appreciated.

Answer 1

You might want a second opinion.   Years ago I was waking up in the night with shooting pains in my upper arms and shoulders.  I went to my doctor and he gave me the dx: carpel tunnel syndrome and took me off work for a week, with some meds and a brace for my wrist.  My wrists and hands never hurt, but my employer had a fit, said I had to go to their doc, who stated it was NOT carpel tunnel.  But my job, at State of Michigan Disability Determination, ironically enough, just told me I should get another job.  After that I knew  better than to trust the occupational med doc.
