Not Exactly Sure

I have the problem of my right arm feeling very heavy, and my fingers on my right hand tingling, while I'm driving. What could this be?

Re: Not Exactly Sure

It could be a couple of things. Anything other symptoms? I would not think the arm feelign heavy would be CT but I'm not a doctor. Cervical would be another possability. If I were you I would have it looked into. Not sure how long you have been experiancing this but if its been for any length of time or it getting worse & not improving its best to have a doctors opinion. Like with alot of injuries better chance of treating the problem the earlier its caught. good luck, Sammy

All fingers on your right hand or just a few? Pointer, middle and thumb are carpal related as well as part of your ring finger.

Re: Not Exactly Sure

I have the most pain in the middle & ring finger with the burning pain & no wrist pain at the start. I think thats what threw my surgeon off. The rehab doctor who ran the EMG made the statement that we are not all "wired" the exact same. I for one was surprised with the DX of carpal tunnel. Sammy
