Other options...: Although carpal tunnel is commonly noted on nerve studies, there are some cases where patients have symptoms of carpal tunnel but the tests remain negative. The best way to determine is with a good physical exam by a health care provider.
Another item that can cause similar symptoms are radial artery problems at the wrist - it is worth evaluation by a good health care provider.
