Neurologist: An impingement of a nerve is suspected. The impingement may be at the wrist(carpal tunnel) but could be at a higher level in the neck,shoulder or elbow. A brain lesion in the right cerebral cortex is less likely a cause due to lack of arm weakness. A neurologist is best qualified to evaluate you and an EMG may be performed in order to localize the impingement.
