I have been dx'd with cts, within the last six weeks I have developed severe elbow pain and weakness besides the other discomforts. Has anyone else expierenced this problem?

Yes, pain can radiate to the elbow or even up to the shoulder with CTS.

You could have strained your elbow while favoring your wrist. Try using a brace for Tennis Elbow for a while. I developed the same thing & have to wear my brace on & off, it works pretty well.

As for the Carple Tunnel...I've had 8 surgeries on my right hand/arm and one on my left. I will have nerve pain in my wrist/hand/arm for the rest of my life. I do hope you have a much better experience than I did.

CT can cause elbow pain, but you could also have a problem with the tendons in elbow. It took 3 years for Dr to realize pain wasn't CT it was a torn tendon. After surgery all is almost completely well 1 year later. I hve CT in both hands and now having same problem with other hand. torn tendon hasn't been ruled out either. If you can gt a TENS unit it helps manage pain but, tennis elbow band is the way to go. Also make sure not to wear a watch on the hurting arm or push your sleeves up this aggrivates elbow.
