Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome A Condition That Qualifies For Worker's Comp?I had a very mild case of Carpal Tunnel syndrome. With an ergonomically correct desk (such as keyboard tray) and one of those split/angled keyboards, the pain was kept at a bare minimum... I barely had pain. When I started my new job in January, I let them know of my condition and that all I needed was a keyboard tray added to my desk. (I still have the keyboard from my old job). I have brought it up several times, but no one has gotten around to getting a keyboard tray put in for me. I offered to order one and call building maintenance, but was told that they would 'get around to it'. They still haven't done it. I am now pregnant and I think the swelling from pregnancy may be contributing more to the pain, but all in all my hands hurt very badly. I can barely make a fist. If this progrsses, is it considered a worker's comp issue????? [ Read More ]

What Can I Do About My Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? What Are Some At-home Remedies?I have a painful case of Carpal Tunnel in both of my wrists. I type all the time, so that could be part of it. I wear a brace on one hand, and I wrap gauze around the other. Are there any home remedies I could try? I type more than I have to, but I do have to type some because I take a computer class.

How Long/far Into Having Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Does Your Strength Begin To Wear Away?Quick question.. I have noticed (along with a few friends..) that my strength has greatly decreased in my right hand (my dominant hand, also the hand with Carpal Tunnel). How long into having CTS does your strength begin to wear away, if at all? Thanks! --- By the way, when I went to the Ortho. a few months ago, I only had a MILD case of CTS. [ Read More ]

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome... Where Should I Go From Here?I have been having pain in my hands for a little over a year and just recently my doctor thought it might be Carpal Tunnel syndrome. He suggested I have an EMG test done. The results came back and i did indeed have Carpal tunnel. I received cortisone shots in each wrist a little over a week ago and have gotten little to no improvement. What should be the next step, surgery? I've been wearing wrist splints at night and they don't seem to help... Could i possibly have another problem as well as Carpal Tunnel? If i bend down the first joint of every finger i experience pain and also a clicking sensation in my thumb. Is this common with Carpal Tunnel or is it something else. I have been tested for arthritis and this is not the case.... [ Read More ]

Help For Prenatal Carpal Tunnel!?I have a severe case of Carpal Tunnel syndrome. I've had it for the last 6 weeks or so of pregnancy. My doctor has only recommended splints for at night, which do not help me at all. I am due in a few days and look forward to it going away...in the meantime, I worry I won't be able to take care of my baby when he arrives. I do not have a repetitive job or do repetitive tasks at home. I am looking for someone who as also suffered with this condition during pregnancy to tell me how long it will take to go away after the baby is born...if it will subside at all, that is.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questions!?I've asked about Carpal Tunnel Syndrome before on here, asking about some of the symptoms and things like this. I want to re-describe my situation to you!.. I am 16 years old and I am on the computer from 10-12 hours a day, and have been since about the age of 8. No, I'm not really fat or anything, but I am pale! ;-)... A few months or so ago, I got a tingling feeling on the back of my wrist. This eventually spread throughout most of my hand and wrist both. The tingling began to turn into a pain also when I would bend my hand back or attempt to pick something up (ESPECIALLY when I would try to pick something up.) I would like to know, does this pretty much sound like a common case of CTS? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Also, when I carry stuff, like groceries or something, my hand tends to fall asleep and/or become numb and begin to tingle. [ Read More ]

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?I was just wondering whether or not I had Carpal Tunnel sydrome? I don't think it's anything serious, but for the past 2-3 days my left hand has been feeling like it has a faint case pins and needles. It's been tingling, mainly on the left side near my ring finger and little finger and numb as well, like it's hard to feel things with my little finger. Plus my index finger has been hurting a little bit If I do have it, what are ways of helping it get better without going to a doctor? Thank you ^^ I was jus I don't work actually... I'm 15 years old. I'm not overweight or anything... Thank you for all the answers ^^. If I wait a while and then lift something heavy, I get a slight jolt in my elbow, but it goes away almost instantly. If that helps or anything... [ Read More ]

Does This Sound Like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)?For starters, I'm a 23 year old male. I've experienced some progressing symptoms over the last couple of weeks in my left hand. It started out with some occasional tingling in my middle, ring and pinky fingers. I initially wrote it off as my hand falling asleep. Over the next couple of days the tingling continued and I noticed some additional tingling toward the base of the aforementioned fingers. Just a couple of days ago, the tingling has completely gone away from the hand, but I noticed a slight pain and stiffness in my middle finger. It only seemed noticeable when I tried to make a fist or curl my middle finger in. When left in it's natural relaxed state, I didn't feel it. Just today, though, I woke up and noticed the pain and stiffness was a little bit worse. Not significantly worse, but noticeable, Also it doesn't take quite as much movement with my middle finger to notice the pain, as it used to. But again, it's only accentuated if I try to curl it in. When left in it's natural relaxed state, I just notice the stiffness. As for the other finger on my left hand, I don't feel anything similar when they are curled in. It may sound humorous, but I bring all of my other fingers in and leave my middle finger extended (as if I were flipping someone the bird) I do not feel any pain. It's only when I try to bring the middle finger in with the rest of my finger that it is noticeable. I've read that it's mostly common to get CTS in the hand that you write with, but I write with my right hand, not my left. I do work in front of a computer for about 7 hours of my work day, though, so I know that may play a large part in it. In any case, I have scheduled an appointment with my physician to see what this could be. I just thought I'd see if anyone else had experienced anything similar to this, or if anyone might be able to shed some light. Thanks! [ Read More ]
