What Is Causing Numbness And Pain In Arm?

I am experiencing a numbness in my right hand and an ache all the way up my arm. I have a small growth on my wrists which has grown within the past year. Mentioned the growths to my Dr. last year and he said that they are probably fibroids tumors and not to worry about them unless they give me problems. Trying to figure out if this is the problem or if it is carpel tunnel or arthritis????

Hello,

I have studied your case with diligence.
There is possibility of ganglion cyst compressing nerve .
Cystic lesions are usually benign and surgical excision is definitive treatment.

I will advise routine blood investigation medication like anti-inflammatory

X ray and EMG NCV study will help to diagnose CTS or arthritis.
