EMG /nerve study: A nerve conduction study and electromyography can be helpful . It will measure the response time, and speed of conduction of nerves that go through the wrist under the carpal ligament into the fingers. The EMG or needle test will evaluate the muscle innervated by these nerves to see if they are also affected. See a physiatrist or neurologist that do this test . Tendinitis is also still possibe.
