    What could be wrong with my arm?

    4 weeks ago I pressure cleaned the verandah, afterwards my arm hurt which I just put down to the vibration from the gurney (sp?). Anyway, 4 weeks on it's still really painful. I can't pick things up without it hurting and I have no strength in that arm or hand at all. I come home from work every day in agony.

    I've just left it thinking that tomorrow it will be better but it just isn't getting better. It isn't getting worse either.

    I do have Carpal Tunnel, could it be related to that?

    possibly the carpal tunnel, maybe its pressing on another nerve?

    Could it be possible that you had a really minor stress fracture that was stirred up by the pressure cleaner? I'd see your doc and maybe ask for an x-ray to be sure...

    yep I second getting it checked out. I have carpel tunnel and its a blinking nuisance. I wear a splint every night to bed but nights when I don't I wake with numb fingers.

    Hope it gets better soon x x x
