Alot of aching pain radiating from elbow to wrist and up my thumb. i type all day. carpal tunnel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be CTS: Cut back on typing and wear a neutral splint at night for a couple of weeks. If symptoms persist get an EMG-NCS to clarify diagnosis and exclude confounding issues like polyneuropathy or median neuropathy above the wrist.
