Hi All,

This is an attempt to gain a better understanding of CTS. I have had
tingling sensations in my hand for around 3 years and I have
occasional stabbing pain throughout my hand. Went to the Ortho doc
and he said "yup...CTS but go get the EMG testing so we can be sure".
Now after everything that I have read, I am so nervous about this. I
can barely concentrate at work, and for the last two days I have been
sick to my stomach with the thought of needles and shocks. Can
someone please help me figure this out? Give me your experiances...be
brutally honest...I am really depressed about this and I just need
some confirmation.

Thank you all...and I look forward to your responses.
