Question
i don't know if you can udnerstand this question, but I don't know if i have carpal tunnel or not.. last night i wetn to go bowling with a friends and everytime i threw the ball my wrist was really sore, like it was like hurting, almost like shooting pains. Before that, my wrist would just hurt at times, like randomly when i use an industrial stapler, etc. What would you consider? or what should I do? Please help. Thanks.

Answer
Dear Dan,   This could very possibly be carpal tunnel syndrome or it could be other muscle or joint problems in the wrist such as even osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis...

I strongly suggest that you see either your family doctor or an orthopedic doctor/surgeon to get this examined further...  It may take a ct-scan or mri to find out the true problem, but you need a diagnosis....

thank you,   karen
