CTS was my first thought/assumption, but the serve scans of my hands/wrists
were perfectly normal.

On the other "hand", the neurosurgeon called this morning with the results
of the myelogram & CT scans. It appears that I have significant narrowing
in the cervical spine, enough that it's pinching the nerves on both sides
that go down into my arms and hands. We discussed it, and decided that I
want it fixed. I've been scheduled for surgery on the eleventh of February.
I hope he's as good as everyone says he is. <g>
