Is it normal to have a sore elbow with Carpal Tunnel??

Question

I had my surgery a couple weeks ago and I'm still having pain in my elbow, I went for a check up today and the surgeon who did the operation said that CTS doesn't cause elbow pain, and it only affects from your wrist to your fingers, which I know is BS I came home and checked on yahoo and WebMd says that it does. My elbow has been sore for over a year now.

Answer 1

Well, sounds like you already answered your own question.  Your wrist flexors and extensors originate from you're medial and lateral epicondlye at the elbow.  It's possible that you may have medial or lateral (depending on which side is having pain) epicondylitis, more commonly known as tennis elbow.  Epicondlyitis is caused by overuse of wrist flexion or extension (just like CTS).  So I'd say it's possible!
