What condition can mimic carpal tunnel syndrome?

There are several. Neck conditions where the nerve is pinched by bulging disc or disc rupture can sometimes cause localized numbness and tingling in the hands and fingers. Radial neuritis is inflammation of the radial nerve which travels down the forearm and into the thumb and index finger causes symptoms of ache, pain, tingling sens. Ulnar neuritis which some people call the carpal tunnel of the elbow, can cause numbness and tingling of the 3rd and 4th fingers. Tendonitis in the hand can cause throbbing,achey pain in the hands and fingers as well.

which one? on the back of our hands, on the front of our hands, on the fingers themselfs, in the lower forearm, upper arm or at the wrist/ can't figure it out.


Why are the muscles that move the fingers in the forearm?

Because there is no space for it to fit.


Can you get pain in your elbow with carpal tunnel?

Not usually, you can sometimes get "retrograde" symptoms that go up the forearm from the wrist from CTS. However, you may have elbow pathology..something like lateral or medial epicondylitis (tennis/golfers elbow) or you could have ulnar neuritis or cubital tunnel syndrome. This ulnar nerve passes through the elbow joint and can give you symptoms at the elbow and DOWN the forearm into the hand(4th and 5th fingers) where as CTS effects the first 2-3 fingers typically.


What muscle is contracted to flex your forearm?

There are about 20 muscles in a forearm, consisting of flexors and extensors. Flexors are responsible for flexing the forearm, wrist, and fingers.


Why after whiplash are you still having tingling in fingers and forearm lacks reflex?

When you are in a whiplash causing accident, your head gets launched in at least two directions. Your muscles grab on as hard as they can to slow the movement and to protect you from damage. Also, your nervous system gets freaked out at such a dangerous jolt, so it sets itself to an extremely high, watchful tone, or tensity. Think about it like your nervous system is frightened and anxious. Symptoms of tingling in the fingers and lack of reflex in the forearm points to a couple different things. If it were just tingling and/or numbness in the fingers, the culprit would very likely be tight Scalene muscles. These are muscles at the front of your neck that compress the nerve pathway down to your arm and hand when they get tight. The Scalenes can get dangerously tight after a whiplash causing injury and compress the nerve for long periods of time. If your forearm lacks 'a little' reflex, then it's likely that the accident caused severe damage and tightness and you have a major compression of the nerve (caused by tight muscles clamping down on the nerve.) If you have a major lack of reflex, then either the nerve is seriously clamped down on, or there is something more serious happening, like a cervical (bone) misalignment that is compressing the nerve. The finger tingling requires relaxation of the muscles. The loss of reflex in the forearm requires serious concern and a trip to the doctor to rule out significant, more-than-just-whiplash damage.

How many muscles to lift a finger?

There are no muscles in the human finger. The muscles that bend the finger are located in the palm and in the mid forearm, and are connected to the finger bones by tendons, which pull on and move the fingers.


Could an extra cervical vertebrae cause pain in the right forearm and fingers?

It is unlikely that an extra cervical vertebrae would directly cause pain in the right forearm and fingers. Pain in the forearm and fingers is more commonly related to issues in the nerves or muscles in the arm, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or a pinched nerve in the neck or wrist. It would be best to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.


Are there muscles in the finger?

Visually speaking, no you cannot. There are only tendons in the fingers, so it is impossible to have 'muscular' fingers per se. It is possible to have very strong fingers/grip, but this comes from forearm strength, not from finger strength.
