The EMG results show bilateral severe damage to the median nerve within the carpal tunnel, with the left side being particularly bad. Right now, my left hand—specifically the fingers—doesn't actually hurt anymore; instead, the pain has migrated to my right arm, radiating all the way from my fingers up to my elbow. I would appreciate any insight or help you all could offer.🙂

I am suffering from intense pain in my hand. I’ve received a diagnosis, and they’re telling me surgery is my only option because there is supposedly no other way to fix this. Has anyone here dealt with carpal tunnel syndrome before? Also, does anyone know of a highly skilled specialist in Chicago who could offer a second opinion or some actual help? I would truly appreciate any assistance you can provide!🤷
