What Causes Sharp Pain On The Wrists And Shoulders?

I went to the doctor today for wrist pain in my right wrist. It has sharp shooting pain that goes up into my shoulder. I do not have any tingling or numbness associated with carpal tunnel. An x ray showed a difference between my ulnar and radius bones and there is an indentation when I bend my wrist down. Is this carpal tunnel or could it be something else?

Hello,
I have studied your case and It is very difficult to tell about this pain. I think it is most probably due to cervical spondylitis or nerve compression in the limb. I would suggest you to get EMG?NCV examination of the upper limb to confirm this diagnosis. If there is any nerve compression then you need to get small surgery to get it removed.
I would also suggest you to take Pregabalin and Methylcobalamine. I hope these steps will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
