Well.... I do not have carpal tunnel . The test came back negative.
BUT the doc is pretty sure I do have Cubital tunnel.
Basically its carpal tunnel just in my elbow. Its fairly easy to treat and I am very excited.
Biggest challenge - Baby my elbow and pay attention to how I sit.
One of the harder things is going to be limiting my time on the computer. He said set a timer for 1 hour and then take 30 min or more off doing something else.
Surgery may be an option if the simple stuff doesn't work .But my doctor seemed pretty chilled about it. :)
I will write a different post later this is just an update for my family.
