Carpal Tunnel

My carpal tunnel saga: I was having pain in my right shoulder, down the arm and a tingling in my fingers. I saw a doctor at Scott & White clinic in Waco, he poked and pushed and sent me for x-rays of my shoulder. A few days later, the nurse called and said I need to go to S&W in Temple, about 30 minutes down the interstate, to see the orthopedic PA. So, I went, and he ordered a nerve conduction test of my wrist and MRI of my neck. Called for the results -- bilateral carpal tunnel but no neck damage, was advised to get steroid shot by my primary care doctor. Went back to the PCP, he said, no, this is not right. You don't get shoulder pain from carpal tunnel. Well, however I got it, I have it and it hurts! I was afraid he was not going to give me the cortisone and I'd have to start all over. But he said he would give me a shot in the arm, and a prescription for wrist splints to wear at night. So, that's my carpal tunnel saga -- I guess it's somewhat inevitable that I would develope CT since I am so computer dependent in my job and at home.
