    It may be a nerve pinched, in your arm or at least close to there. I'm not sure if x-rays pick that up.

    This is too much for me to cover, you know your symptoms best it may be something to look at.

    I've got a few medical books but I'm going to need more info. Like What action you did that gave you carpal, and can you feel anything in your arm at all, if so what, and so on. Be super specific, can you life bend or move parts and not others. THe more the easier I can match symptoms and you can then do some research on what I find for you. If you want, then you can talk to the Docs about it eh? If you recall any family history with neurological issues, say peripheral neuropathy and what not.

    I'm not saying you have any of this stuff but it's something to give you some idea what may or may not be happening. Also, a book called, "The brain that changes it'self."- By Norman Doidge M.D. It's a self help book, but it's got a lot of details about how our neurelogical systems work. Lots on stroke victoms and how they recoved, and some other things you may look into trying, such as imagining your arm as fine. Yes, I know it's not, but still try. It may help, in the same way people use self affrimation to "wire" their thoughts for success.

    I'll be back later. Peace and kindness

    You should see a Physician - this could be any number of things, some serious, some not. This is nothing to be diagnosed on an Internet site.

    Try going to another Doctor, but don't tell him/her what you have, or what others think it may be, but just get them to do a new freash diagnosis, rather than rediagnosing.

    I have heard a lot of things get wrong diagnosis, and unless you go to another doctor who has no idea that you've been diagnosed then they will just go with what the other doctor said. It's happened to me a few times.

    Good luck, I couldn't find anything specific enough to give you from my Med books, take care eh.

    Peace and kindness be with you.
