for the past two weeks I have had severe pain in my left forearm at night with numbness is my hand and fingers. The numbness will last throughout the day. I ve been on anti inflammatory tmedicine and was put on steroids today. My doctor said I should see a neurologist because I had Bells Pasley seven years ago. I look up symptoms and I see a lot of carpal tunnel results. Could the dr think it s something more if he didn t even suggest that? I also see sypmtoms close to ms symptoms.
