Not CTS?

224504

Have completed questionnaire and dismayed at the result which shows a very low chance of CTS.
If not CTS what could be causing me such discomfort?
Do you think I have under-scored the pain severity in the questionnaire?

 I feel like my life is over

I've been suffering for two months. Fortunately, my EMG -- which I could not finish, and hope never to repeat -- shows zero nerve damage and is negative for carpal tunnel syndrome. However, my doctor is confident that I do have carpal tunnel syndrome. Steroid injections relieve my symptoms for a few weeks, but now they're coming back.

My doctor does not want to perform surgery yet. He said I need to adapt and change my activities. He said I could have up to two steroid shots per year and perhaps in five, 10, or 15 years I will be ready for surgery.
