Had a Bit of a Health Scare last week. Wednesday Mid Day, Had Unexplained Pain and Numbness in my Right Arm. Friend at work who had 4 Heart Stints installed last year, pointed out to me that pain in Arm doesn't necessarily have to be on left side to be Heart related and he STRONGLY suggested that I go the the Hospital Emergency Department Immediately and he would drive me to the Hospital.
I spent 6 and a half hours there, had an Electrocardiogram , 2 blood tests (3 hours apart), a chest X Ray and a CT Scan of Cranium.
Everything came back Good, with no sign of Heart or Brain Trauma. Had a Stress Test Friday and passed that as well, with Flying colors.
After going through all of that, pretty sure I know what problem is know, Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. 10 Years of Typing long Reports for the Provincial Government, using non ergonomically correct work stations.
I have been experiencing neck pain on same side as arm that was bothering me, for years, along with elbow pain.
Have already started filling out the Workers Compensation Forms and will see my Family Doctor and get Work Safe to provide Physio etc.
While Uncomfortable, this is Way Better than Heart Disease. :FordSmile
