Unfortunately, the doctor hasn’t given me a diagnosis. It’s not carpal tunnel, but I have all the symptoms. It’s frustrating because I can’t use my hands and they’re very weak. I see my doctor again December 2 and she’s going to inject corticosteroids which, I’ve read, is painful
Thanks for your feedback

Hi Susan, yes I know the pain very well. I had it in both hands/wrists. I also have arthritis in my hands. I would wear brace wraps on both wrists at night. My hands would go numb.
I had the surgery 8 years ago on both wrists at the same time. It was the best thing ever. It wasn't even difficult. You can't carry anything for awhile. No more pain.
I would recommend it.
Find a good hand surgeon.
