Suggest Treatment For Arm Numbness

I had a c section with my son and about a week after I had him my thumb pointer and middle if get have been numb some times they tingle if I stain to use them but most ther times I just do not have sensation in them. I can still move and use them. This was 2 years ago, recently I have been havin more complications such as shooting pains Ito my hands and my arm is going numb of and on. The doctor I was seeing told me it was carpal tunnel syndrome gave my a shot I. My wrist and braces to wear at night. I have done what he has asked and am still having problems. The doctors did a nerve study and showed nothing wrong and I tried to tell him there was something wrong regardless of what his tests show and he told me I was faking it. 2 years later I m still having issues an this is obviously not fake pain any suggestions?
