Referral

I’ve been using the anti-inflammatory meds the past several days but there’s not been any change in my hand. So I went to the doctor today and after some discussion we decided it would be better if I see a neurologist at this point. Mostly because it’s quite expensive to do an MRI and/or nerve conduction and it will be easier and possibly cheaper (Medicare rebate-wise) through the specialist than going from the gp. Most of my symptoms are in line with carpal tunnel but the areas involved seem to include radial nerve areas so it’s a bit questionable as to whether there is an issue somewhere else.
