    Hello, doctor. I am from Brazil and all the doctors I went to diagnosed me with tendinitis, but thanks to your videos, I learned that I am feeling better and I am improvising some treatments like using something to immobilize my wrist. I am glad that my case is not serious. Thank you for the videos.

    Little known facts! Check out how the median nerve can be compressed in other areas besides the well known Carpal Tunnel. We discuss how the nerve functions and can be confused with a neck problem. #carpaltunnel#Carpaltunnelsyndrome#tomwillemann#apexorthorehab

    I've been feeling numbness in my right arm and pain in my fingertips, as well as tingling in the right side of my neck, sometimes from moving my wrist and sometimes from moving my neck. The numbness is constant. My physician told me it was most likely carpal tunnel and a hand specialist told me the same thing, although both of those tests showed no change in symptoms for me. My hand specialist told me that theres different symptoms in everyone though. In the past few days though I've noticed some light numbness in my right leg too, leading me to believe that the problem might be in my neck and is radiating down. What do you suggest i do about this?

      You definitely have to make sure the neck isn’t involved since you have neck complaints.

    I don't know if I have it or not but this morning I woke up and I wasn't able to fully open up my hand also I can't lift up my hand and show you my palm as if waving to you my pinky and ring finger will slightly stay down very slow to move my fingers this is on my right hand

      That is typically an ulnar nerve distribution of pain not the median nerve affected in Carpal tunnel. I would seek an evaluation.

    I woke up suddenly on a Wednesday night two wks ago with pain numbness tingling loss of motor function in both my hands. I'm trying exercises but I'm so debilitated with 4 small kids. It came out of no where. Right hand is defo worse than left. But left isn't far off. I wake up constantly with terrible pain in palms and tingling and numbness. . I've been given anti inflammatories and on a long waiting list for nerve conduction test. Am I at risk of permanent damage to nerve? How can it have happened bilaterally so suddenly. I'd appreciate any feedback, thanks for videos

      I would be concerned about the neck with that sudden onset. Make sure you push for a diagnosis and push for the test if thinks worsen.

    I am awaiting a hospital appointment regarding carpel tunnel. I have done both these tests and both gave me tingling after afew seconds.
    However, tingling also always appears in an area on my lower and upper arm too. Could this be a neck issue aswell? Or is that a symptom of carpel tunnel too

    • @apexmovebetter

      I would mention that during the evaluation and have someone look at that. Could be a neck issue

    Please I need help.I have had carpul tunnel surgery in both hands/arms. It did nothing, I have a dbs for cervical dystonia which helped but carpul is taking over im in constant pain and weakness. Why would I get this on both sides at basically the same time. Im sure it has to do with my neck

    I work in assembly. My issue is when I lay down, or am sitting here typing on my phone, right hand goes numb (median) and experiences dull pain in the fingers and thumb, not the wrist. Any other case, I have no symptoms, even when I'm at work.
    seems like a neck/shoulder/chest case for me? I'm puzzled, never dealt with this before
