thanks so much. you have been very helpful.....
here's a discription of the tests i posted on another thread.
Electromyography, or EMG, involves testing the electrical activity of muscles. this test is often performed with another test, a nerve conduction study. this is a test that measures the conducting function of nerves. EMG requires a very small needle to be inserted into a muscle that the specific nerve controls. you will not feel the needle and it does not give off an electrical current if you were worried about that. you are then asked to move the muscle causing the muscle to contract, thus the electrical activity of the muscle can be measured. in a nerve conduction study, no needles are required. a pad is placed on the muscle and stimulates the muscle. the test records the time it takes for the specific nerve to fire a reaction for the muscle to contract due to the stimulation. both are very unpainful and provide valuable information concerning yor condition.
sounds like CTS, just because it's in your wrist. i don't beleive it's unlar nerve entrapment becuase it hurts more in extension than flexion, which is a common symptom of ulnar nerve entrapment. like star queen said, go see a neurosurgeon or a orthopedic specialist and mention a nerve conduction study or an EMG.
See an orthopedic neurosurgeon and get an electrical study done called a nerve conduction study. this will check the nerves in the hand and arm to see if you have a problem there. It will tell you if you have CTS, ulner nerve entrapment or other electrical problems. Go from there.
