I have finally received a report from my consultant regarding my carpal tunnel syndrome. He has confirmed despite that my nerve conduction tests were normal that I do have carpal tunnel syndrome. While I was in hospital with pneumonia I had an x-ray of my C-spine to check for a cervical rib but none was present. My thyroid tests were normal.
For the moment I am not having many problems with my condition. Because of this I have been advised not to have any surgery at this time as it might produce pillar pain which might interfere with my work and cause me to have a few months of work. When I next have pain I will have further steroid injections and if necessary after that I will have surgery.
