Palm pain

I know I got this problem from my job. I just left the job 2 weeks ago because my work made it worse. It made me yell out.. I slice meat and cheese in a deli. I took the survey. I have a few other situtions not mentioned in survey and wonder if others have this also...... When I push myself up on the armchair, on the edge of tub, and hold grocery bags it causes intense pain in the muscle in my palm directly below my thumb. Are others experincing this sensation?

Pain on resting your weight on the heel of the hand is more commonly a symptom experienced after surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome rather than being a symptom of CTS itself but it is not impossible. It is a feature that might prompt me to think about not only investigatiing with nerve conduction studies but also perhaps doing the ultrasound imaging too. JB
