Hi,
Years ago I know I had carpal tunnel. I had it in both hands and I never did anyhting about it. The job I had effected it and I had all the same problems as everyone else with the hands falling asleep, pain at night that kept me awake etc.
Like I said , I never got help for it. Now it is about 10 years later and I started working out at a gym. All was fine and I was starting to bulk up. All of a sudden I have pain in my fore arms, right below my elbow going around to the front. I lost all strength. I am a big guy and was able to lift 200 pounds easily. Now I can not pick up an empty box. If I sit still for awhile it is like my arms go dead and it takes a bit to get them to move. I only have pain when I try to pick up something. It takes both hands to pick up only 10 pounds now. I am only 43 years old. Is this problem from never taking care of it in the past. If anyone knows please tell me.
Thanks
