Second the recommendation about starting with your regular doctor & get a referral. Also, second the recommendation about NOT starting with a hand surgeon. If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
I recently had an EMG for pain/numbness in my hands - yes - after buying an insanely expensive bike. The EMG wasn't too bad. It wasn't definitive about where the pain is coming from - either the neck or nerves that run through the elbows. So, I'm going to have a cortisone shot in my neck & if the pain/numbness goes away, it's coming from the neck. Otherwise, it's the elbows. Ain't science great?
