I have no idea, but I'd be interested in what he wants the blood tests for.

Arthrosynovitis
It seems that my right hand has this problem while the left should have carpal tunnel (wtf). I don't think my doctor is right about the left hand (the one with the carpal tunnel) because I have this little sudden sharp pain in my left elbow from time to time and I think that could be some kind of nerve pain. The right hand has the middle finger and the ring finger that are really swollen, plus they hurt. In my left hand there is tingling and sense of warmth during the sleep and in the early hours of the morning (all the fingers except the ring finger) but the tests with the doctor (he told me to put my hands in a certain way to determine if I had tingling in my fingers) were negative. I'll have blood tests tomorrow and EMG (electromyography) soon. What in your experience could be or how did you deal with similar problems?
P.s. I had all this in a sudden. The day before I rack pulled 507 and the morning after I had 2 fingers in my right hand that seemed like two sausages...
p.s. My blood tests are perfect.

My guess would be testing for Lyme’s, if the OP in in the right geography for it, as well as WBC count to determine whether the joint swelling might be caused by infection.Originally Posted by Mark Rippetoe

Indeed.

It is definitely a carpal tunnel.
Maybe it can be caused by arthrosynovitis. The doc says I can wait and do some antinflammatory for awhile and, if it doesn't get better, the only option is surgery.
Nobody has ever dealt with it?
How can I change my training? No heavy DL or Rack Pull I guess...and how about heavy benching/Pressing?
Wow, I feel old.
