So, my doctor set me up to see a neurologist this Monday for possible CTS. Symptoms started as both hands waking me up during the night (Thumb, pointer and middle fingers) and lots of shaking trying to wake them up.
It then progressed to painful and long numbness at night and whenever i talked on the phone too long. Half hour numbing lengths which were very painful. It is now pain in my thumb on my right hand, burning pains in my palms, shooting and sharp pains in the middle of my palms and a couple of times of shooting pain up my arms to the elbows. I woke one morning to the thumb on my left hand being pulled towards the centre of my palm..that was what prompted the doctor to set me up for a neurology appointment. he had also given me NSAIDS for a week which did absolutely nothing..it was following the pills that my thumb went all strange.

Anyway, my appointment is Monday and i'm wondering what to expect when they check for it. Does it hurt? Ive heard scary things like needles shoved in my hands and arms with electrical impulses which radiate onto an oscilloscope. Sounds scary. Any advice would be wonderful cause when I verified the appointment the receptionist didn't tell me a thing about it.

Thanks all.
