A member asked:
My right arm is swelling by my wrist and elbow, i recently have been diagnosed with carpel tunnel, what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely correct: Have your doctor confirm with an EMG study. The swelling maybe associated with local inflammation, but many people with carpal tunnel have a constant sensation of fullness or swelling over the distal arm.
