: I haven't posted before but have learned so much from you all. I have had my family doctor AND a hand surgeon tell me I have CTS. I finally had this nerve conduction done today and the doctor doing the test tells me I have VERY CLASSIC symptons but that the test is not saying I have CTS. Symptoms have been going on since first of May. Waking up at night w/ "needles & pins" up and down my arm, progessing to numbnes 24 hr a day in thumb, index, middle finger. Very uncomfortable. I do go for a follow up next week. Can anyone shed any light on this test? Thanks

Hi Marie,
Like you I had classic syptoms of CTS, I went for the nerve test and it came back with mild CTS and as I told the doctor, it sure didn't feel mild to me, he agreed that sometimes the EMG misreads the degree and can be wrong. But my symptoms were right on target. I tried the brace at night, anti inflams ect. During this past summer, it got much worse to where I wasn't sleeping at night anymore and having a tough time getting through work in the daytime. I had surgery on Sept 8th and was doing very well, except for a mishap 3 weeks post op. But I think if I hadn't had the mishap things would be fine with my wrist.
Just wanted to give you another case to read...best of luck! Hope you feel better soon.
Kitty
