A member asked:
Aches in my left arm for two months. it comes and goes. it is usually in my forearm/wrist. it is not very painful, more like discomfort. i feel shooting pains in my index and thumb too (rarely). blood/urine test are completely fine. what could it be?

Are you left handed? Do you use your wrist a lot like playing computer game with left hand? Your symptoms are quite consistent with left wrist carpal tunnel syndrome. You can use a wrist brace during sleep or when you do not use your wrist too much as a treatment trial.
