Several years ago I had tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome and thoracic outlet syndrome all at the same time. Thoracic outlet syndrome ended up being an interesting one, since it can affect the nerves anywhere on your arm. It was explained to me that TOS is frequently misdiagnosed as a variety of other conditions, such as tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. I just got lucky enough to have all three at once.
It's possible that your pain is caused by TOS. I ended up going to a variety of specialists before finally being diagnosed with it (general practitioner, hand specialist, neurologist, etc). You might want to start by asking your regular doctor about it. On 8/30/06, Jeffrey Moss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Does anybody else get pain in the fingers? What caused it and what'd you do about it? I went to a doctor last year for debilitating pain in my hands (mostly my right index finger), he said it was tendonitis and gave me steroids, which helped me recover but this pain in my index finger never went away. I've been thinking it's either a pinched nerve or permanant tendon damage or something.
