I suspect that I have a bad case of carpal tunnel, still yet to see my Doctor for diagnosis and how to proceed forward.
My right hand, arm and shoulder is the worst. I wake up at night with a dead hand and pain the runs right up my arm.
A further observation is that when I turn my head to the right then tilt my head back the pain from my neck to my right shoulder and the muscles that are attached to the humerus along it's shaft, the Anteriorly coracobrachialis, deltoid, brachialis, brachioradialis or at least one of those, goes crazy....insane pain. 03h05 and I can't sleep. Just taken pain meds and waiting for them to kick in.
Now the left hand. Continuous numb fingers with the exception of the thumb. This occurs mostly at night.
Last year at Ironman Nat my right arm started shaking and I could not control it. It was like it had a mind of its own. That has not happened since.
Nerve damage, carpal tunnel, tennis elbos? Either way I'm really afraid as I need these hands to work and really can't sit through a lengthy recovery period.
Anyone one of you ever experience similar?
Thanks in advance.

I had carpal tunnel in both hands from riding/weightlifting/health issues, and got both wrists operated on in February of this year. Crazy because they did it while I was awake, right in front of me. Each wrist took about 15mins. They did one, then took the stitches out 2 weeks later, then did the other one.
I was 100% about 8 weeks later. 10/10, definitely get it checked out and fixed if able.
Medial nerve compression causes your thumb index middle and half of you’re ring finger to be numb. given your stated area of involvement I’m thinking it’s starting above the carpal tunnel....maybe some c7,c8, t1 involvement...... I really can’t know for certain. Would still advise a specialist consult.
This is not medical advice.
You said the pain is in your neck and shoulder....it might not be carpal tunnel but a pinched nerve in your neck. Check out a sports doctor. They seem to understand active people more.
