Hi. Has anyone had a nerve conduction test come back normal and still been disgnosed with carpal tunnel? If so, how did the dr. detrmine it was carpal tunnel?

Hi cts
Here is a link to a JAMA article that you might find interesting: http://people.bu.edu/sobieraj/ed/CTreview.html
The article is a bit technical. It does say, "It is well documented that many hand surgeons perform carpal tunnel release successfully in patients with normal electrodiagnostic findings" The article has pictures and describes some other test a lot better than I can.
