Carpal Tunnel Moving Into Back??? Posted: 04-09-05 16:52pm
Mid jan. I started with minor carpal
tunnel symptoms, it has given me pain all
the way up into my outer upper arm. I
can no longer extend my arm out or put my
arm behind me, the pain in the upper arm
is too intense. About 1 week ago started
having severe upper (apprx 10 inches from
my neck) alittle to the right of center
deep sharp back pain, worse when i'm in
bed, or on a soft chair or couch. I'm
being progressively immobilized here,
help. I assumed it was carpal tunnel, now
the wrist and hand pain is almost gone
(did some carpal tunnel excercises), the
upper arm and arm mobility issue still
exists, but it's moved into disabling pain
in this back area. Is this normal for
carpal tunnel, is this travelling along
one main nerve? Has anyone had any
experience with this? How can I cure
this??? Help, the pain has gotten
unbearable. Anyone with any info out
there??? Thanks for any responses.

Thanks for the reply, truth is it
eventually just went almost away, (out of
sight, out of mind mentality on my part),
but guess what? It's back with a
vengeance of course. I feel like i'm
being stabbed deep in this back area,
sporadically during the day and night,
seems to depend on how I move, and I avoid
moving when I know it's in "flare up"
mode. I will have to make an appointment
soon as I can't keep living in denial when
the pain subsides on a temporary basis
only. Thanks.
