Double crush

The doctor thinks the pain is coming from a pinched nerve in my neck. He said carpal tunnel stops about mid-way up the arm and doesn't radiate to the shoulder like mine. He touched a spot on my neck and I almost came up out of the chair it hurt so bad.

So...

He gave me some neck exercises to do for the next few weeks. He said if it isn't better after the holidays to give him a call and he'll do an MRI on my wrist, arm, and neck to look at the nerves.

I asked him if there was a possibility I could have a pinched nerve and carpal tunnel. He said "Yes. You may have what we call a Double Crush."

Sounds lovely, huh?

I'm going to start those exercises tonight, and also make an appointment with a chiropractor to see if they could possibly work out the issues with my neck. At least things are happening... slowly, but happening.

Can't take it any more

I'm going to the doctor today to have my arm looked at. My carpal tunnel is getting worse and I need some relief.

The other day I had pain radiating from in between my fingers all the way to my shoulder. Today I was holding my coffee mug and my arm started aching.

I don't know what the doctor can do for it. I don't know how the surgery (if that is an option) would help. I'm sure all he can do is give me a better brace and prescribe some sort of mild pain killer. That is fine... I just know that I hurt and I want him to help me out.
