I started with a neurologist whom suggested the carpal tunnel surgery. 3 months later, my elbow and wrist hurt. I saw an orthopedic surgeon who performed lateral epicondylitis surgery. Since than, my symptoms have gone from the hand and elbow all the way up my arm to my neck (right side only). I've had many opinions from neurologists and orthopedic professionals. Since there is no evidence on an MRI (c-spine and shoulder) they are unsure how to treat. I did endure 3-4 weeks of MacKenzie Therapy which helped very little. After receiving my EMG results today, I broke down in tears. Mild carpal tunnel which may have improved since my last EMG was the prognosis. How on earth can he determine that I've improved since my last EMG when I feel worse? I am completely out of options and unable to work as a bookkeeper any longer.
