    Hand Pain
    I'm 55yrs old, had a Heart attack 03/08, a stint to repair right side blockage. My concern is the hand pain, though it's similar to a previous question, it wasn't enough of an answer to me, sorry, need more information. 2 Months ago the Doc said it was stress. This is too painful to be cause by stress. The pain is on both sides of my left hand, but the right side by the thumb, the pain is going all the way to the shoulder and it is almost 24/7 pain, of tingling and burning as if it asleep. I know I have carpel tunnel, but, is the kind of pain it causes?

    I'd go back to your doctor and address it again. Sometimes, you might experience the artery becoming narrow again (restenosis) and that may or may not be a factor in what you are feeling.

    Do things to help with carpal tunnel help at all, like using a splint for your wrist? Any other health concerns... diabetes for example?
