[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had tingling/numbness in my hands caused by a nerve issue.  The people who diagnosed it were my massage therapist and then a PT.
I had seen like three doctors before them. I'd consider a physical therapist.[/quote]

Massage therapists are not qualified to diagnose medical issues. How did they decide it was a "nerve issue?" What nerve issue?[/quote]

Not PP but I'm guessing the massage therapist and PT spent way more time asking questions and listening than a doctor does and had probably seen something similar with other clients. [/quote]
I wrote that post.  Diagnose is a sloppy word to have used and maybe should have said "led to uncovering the problem". They solved it because of exactly what was posted above - they spent way more time and were hands on.  The massage therapist said "this area is tight and you should see someone about this".  And what the nerve issue was is not your business. 
FWIW I'm married to a doctor in one of these specialities.  Was sent for MRIs and EMGs and it was ultimately PT that helped LOL 
Hope you can find some answers, OP.
