This is my hand with the area drawn in , and not taking into consideration the polyneuropathy that is caused because of chemo Taxol . It is only the sensory part that is lacking sensation , no pain , and nothing wrong with using the hand . From the EMG it is an area on my forarm that is affected . And yes , it is an other branch of the nerv than the one going trough the carpal tunnel . You are correct sir ! Did not know that is was called the palmar cutaneous branch tho ! Thanks for giving it a name ! The neurologist only said it was an other branch of the median nerve . I do like having info of what is going on with my own body P <| sep |> GET THIS MAN A BEER <| sep |> Try the Montreal server . I have 330 down and 21 up on speedtest . net .
