Hi. I don't have carpal tunnel syndrome, but I was diagnosed with cubital tunnel syndrome. This is similar to CTS except the "tunnel" is in the elbow instead of the wrist and it effects the ulnar nerve instead of the median nerve. Symptoms include a burning aching feeling around the elbow, especially at night. Numbness in the hand on the side of the little finger. Usually the last 2 or 3 fingers. The nerve is most compressed when the elbow is flexed, so you may notice more numbness when doing something with the elbow flexed ie: talking on the phone or reading a book.
Just wanted to say that my symptoms have decreased a lot sinse I had my fillings replaced and started chelation. Right now the symptoms are totally gone, but they do come back for brief periods at times. I did have therapy with some success, but believe I will not be totally free of it until I get rid of more mercury from my body.
