Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. What you described may be carpal tunnel syndrome or neuropathy from an other cause. It would be prudent to see a doctor as the disorder is treatable. Wish you good health!

Question 2

shoulderpains resulting in limited movement, weakness in shoulder and hands, fingers, stiffness. unable to carry weight or pressure?

Accepted Answer

Pinched nerve?: Cervical radiculopathy, commonly called a "pinched nerve" occurs when a nerve in the neck is compressed or irritated where it branches away from the spinal cord. This may cause pain that radiates into the shoulder, as well as muscle weakness and numbness that travels down the arm and into the hand. Talk to your Dr for a thorough exam and treatment options.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Tough to say: Without an exam,..could be a tendon strain of your pinky, could be arthritis in the finger, etc.  If it continues, get it evaluated with and exam to start.  Best wishes.

Question 4

See your doctor: This may be due to carpal tunnel syndrome or a pinched nerve in the neck. You should see you doctor to get a formal workup.

Question 5

Neck or hand: This could be from the neck like a pinched nerve at C6 however, my impression is you have symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.
