Carpal tunnel & cubital tunnel

by Joe S, Apr 10, 2007 12:00AM
Is it common to have carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel at the same time? I have a weak right hand. More specifically, my fingers are weak when I push with them. They tend to "give" easier. My finger joints buckle easier. It is always worse in the moning, and I also get numbness when waking up. But it affects every finger with me and I know carpal tunnel does not affect the pinky and ring fingers. I have had a buck of testing, includings 2 EMG's and 2 MRI's. Doctors said borderline carpal tunnel/anxiety. But I have this slight hand weakness all the time, but soemtimes worse than others. Was wondering if anyone else has similiar things happening to them. My forearm muscles are also tight often.

Yes

I was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnell syndrome and Ulnar nerve entrapment in both arms. That affects all my fingers. I have had one arm operated on, but I still have weakness in the pinky and ring finger.

My hands tingle all the time. Most of it is in my pinkies and the outside of my hands. I drop things constantly, but when I type, or drive, or do anything where my hands are in an upward position, my pointer fingers and thumbs start to tingle. My doctor tapped on the inside of my wrists and my whole hand went numb. He's sending me to a specialist after my L&I claim is approved. What does this sound like to you?
