What Is The Right Timing For Starting Exercises For Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?I saw a dr on Wed For this. She said to use braces, limit activity, take ibuprofen, and come back in 3 weeks. She mentioned physical therapy but didn't elaborate. I'm concerned because I have to go back to work tomorrow and my wrists hurt just as much as Weds. I thought it might help to do the gliding, stretching, and strengthening Exercises I found on the 'net, but I don't want to cause anymore damage. As long as I don't push my wrists too far and make them hurt a lot more, will I be doing any additional damage? [ Read More ]

If You Have Started To Notice Carpal Tunnel Symptoms, What Can You Do To Prevent Worsening Conditions?I am only 26 and already starting to feel slight pain in my hands, especially with my thumbs. I have used a BlackBerry For two years and think that is causing a lot of the symptoms to develop. My thumbs now pop a lot when I bend them. I have already reduced usage of the BlackBerry and I have always used a Natural Keyboard. What else can I do? Any specific Exercises or stretches? [ Read More ]

I Might Have Early Signs Of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Which Muscles Are Involved And Are At Fault?I posted a question on here and I think the symptoms I'm having is of Carpal Tunnel syndrome. Since last night, I've had tingling at palm of my hand, mostly at the center and sometimes to the sides. My wild guess is it's early signs of Carpal Tunnel and probably will go away after while (as to what other people have answered on my other questions, which you're more than welcom to check). I do a lot of typing at work, and I use one of those wrist pads that elevate your wrist on the keyboard. But I think it may be because I'm learning to play the guitar and playing up to 2 hours per day. So my question is, what muscle(s) causes Carpal tunnel? (From my understanding it's weakening of muscles or unbalanced strength.) What are Exercises and stretches can I do For it? [ Read More ]

Possible Carpal Tunnel Please Answer?Hey Everyone *I Love Yahoo Answers* Well this is the problem I work as a Lien Representative/Claims Processor so I work 8-5pm M-F I have been doing it For almost 3 Years lately my hands are hurting alot I get tingles from my shoulders all the way down to my hands, my fingers hurt when I type alot, my back hurts alot my neck too, Im taking yoga to help but is not helping at all to top it off I have stress, because we got a new boss she expects us to do the double amt of clms than what we can actually used to do, is not that Im lazy, because Im not is just my hands really hurt to do all that typing even dough I try I just can't work all those claims' the messed up part is the boss has favoritism, because to the people who are from where she was born at she gives them light work all they do is chill at work....

Are Your Wrists Supposed To Hurt After Practicing Bass For Several Hours?i've been playing guitar For six years, and bass (finger style) on and off For about 3 years. within the last 4 months, i started working on longer practice sessions (about 2-4 hours on weekdays and 4-11 hours on days off or weekends). my form and posture are proper and usually i'll take a 15 every once in awhile to do wrist and hand stretches. the thing is, until i started doing the wrist/hand Exercises i felt no pain at all (even during long practice sessions) but after reading forums and posts about other musicians that have experienced Carpal Tunnel and various other injuries, warm ups/cool downs and stretches starting becoming part of my practice schedule... now that i am, i'm starting to feel the symptoms of what these forums, etc. were warning about!! right now i do not have health insurance, so going to a physician may not be an option. does anyone have experience with this, or does anyone know what to do??

Why Does My Hand Hurt When I Play Guitar?I started playing electric guitar For about a year now. For quite a while now, every time i try to play a song, my wrist would start cramping up and it would hurt so much that i have to stop and rest For a while. It happens mainly on my left hand which holds the notes down. Apparently, it only hurts a lot when i try to stretch my hand out. My right hand is okay, but sometimes it starts to hurt a lot as well. So i was wondering, is this because of the Stretching and the fact that my hand isn't used to it? I heard something about Carpal Tunnel, but i'm not exactly sure what it is? BTW i don't really exercise my hands before i play. Should i start doing that? Thanks, [ Read More ]

God Created Humans In HIS Image, So Does That Mean That He Has The Following Design Flaws Himself?1. Female pelvis too small For the human baby's head making birth difficult and prone to perinatal injuries to the baby. 2. Retinal arteries/veins lying on and in front of the retina of the eyes. Many causes of blindness come from this defective design. 3. Wisdom teeth (already noted) with secondary abscesses, occasionally dissecting up into the cranium -> brain abscess, meningitis, epidural empyema. 4. Larynx too highly placed, leading to common choking deaths. 5. A bony projection, called the Odontoid Process, an extension of the C2 vertebral body lie a long finger, up to the end of the brainstem. It can easily fracture, especially in rheumatoid arthritis. That leads to death or paralysis of all extremities and inability to breathe without a mechanical ventilator. A simpler rotatory ball-socket joint would be better and safer. 6. Semi-soft disc material between vertebrae and just anterior to the spinal cord, were suited well to quadrupeds. But in humans the upper body weight compresses these and can cause herniations with mild to moderate trauma. There are 6 of these (none at C1-2) in the neck, 12 in the thoracic spine, 5 (rarely 6) in the Lumbar spine. That is 23 flaws or accidents waiting to happen. 7. Hip joints perfectly suited to support human weight if there were four of them or 4 supporting limbs. In a biped, the stress causes extremely common hip degeneration, femoral neck fractures in women and older people. How often do you hear of that in a dog or horse? 8. Knees similarly are not strong enough with the tibial cartilage in two legs For human weight, jumping down, and running. If we had 4 legs it would not be so bad. How often do you see cats with knee problems? 9. Foot and ankle bones are badly designed. Most quadrupeds walk on their toes or the balls of the feet. This puts more weight on flexible tendons, ligaments and several bending joints spreading the stress. In the human food, we are walking on essentially our leg 'wrists' and balls of the foot with an arch that is traumatised by walking and standing. When it falls it has an additional problem of severe foot pain. (see 10). 10. In those fallen arches, the plantar nerves are badly placed. Instead of weaving between or over top of bones to their skin sensory receptors, these course 'under' the ankle bones, under the arch to the metatarsal joints. When the arch slowly gives way it stretches those nerves and eventually compresses them. This never happens in dogs or cats. 11. Human wrist must extend to provide maximum finger flexion; a major human task is to hold things in our hands. So the wrist flexes a thousand times a day. Problem is that the median nerve runs through a bony trough covered by tough ligaments, the Carpal Tunnel. With every wrist flexion the median nerve is pulled in and out of that canal. The canal is easily narrowed by minor injuries or repetitive use. The nerve is injured causing pain, finger numbness, and weakness in thumb opposition. 12. The Elbow flexes and extends, but an important nerve, the Ulnar Nerve mostly motor to the muscles of the forearm and hand. It unfortunately does not go in front of the elbow in the safer soft tissue. It courses behind the elbow which is fine in horses, but human flex the arm at the elbow that pulls and stretches the ulnar nerve in a long course behind the elbow in an 'ulnar groove' and additionally a human sitting often rest elbows on a table, and that compresses the ulnar nerve. Dogs and cats don't do that. 13. The Brachial Plexus is a cluster of the nerves to the arm that travels through a triangle with the first rib being the bottom, the collar bone in front, and the scalene muscles behind. Also in the triangle is the brachial artery to supply blood to the arm. Poor posture, hanging by exercise bars from the hands, or throwing balls, cause the triangle to compress either or both structures. This is Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, the Neuronal form when the plexus is injured and vascular form when the brachial circulation is impaired. 14. Female urinary opening (urethra), vagina, and rectum all located in a close row so that rectal infection of the urethra/bladder/kidneys, or the vagina is risky. The old joke is why is the recreational park located at the sewage outflow pipes? 15. Appendix is a seemingly useless relic of evolution that often gets infected and ruptures in a life threatening peritonitis unless removed quickly. A few postulate that it might have bacterial that make certain vitamins. That is unproven. 16. Large veins in the legs, progressively dilating from standing, walking, run the risk of blood clotting when the human sits For a period of time. These veins send those clots north to the heart's right ventricle and directly into the lungs causing pulmonary emboli (clots and lung infarction) that is often fatal.) Quadruped animals rarely die of this. Many humans do. 17. Venous Cavernous Sinuses at the skull base on left and right are large draining veins from the brain. But inside of the vein there is the carotid artery taking blood into the brain, and several important nerves: III, IV, VI that control all eye movements, pupillary diameter, and lens focusing, and V-1, V-2, and V-3 that supply sensation to the eye and face. This venous structure packed with these important structures is infected by sinus infection or pustules in or on the nose. Infection causes the blood to clot (thrombosis) that injures the nerves, makes the eye bulge and swell, and can cause spreading thrombosis into the brain which can be rapidly fatal. 18. Other cranial sinuses such as the transverse are located next to the middle ear that frequently gets infected in kids. The infection spread to the venous sinus and causes thrombophlebitis, the major effect is increased fluid pressure in the brain, venous strokes, and seizures. If all of those venous drainage pipes were internally situated, there would not be such a risk. (17 and 18). 19 19. Congenital birth defects caused by structures found only in primitive animals (but still in our genes): gills in our embryonic stage may have some left over at birth and a baby may have a partial gill (technically called a branchial cleft cyst.) These can cause pain as the person grows, or develop abscesses. Another is a chordoma, tumour composed of notochord tissue only otherwise found in ancient animals like Pikaea and Amphioxus. It preceded the evolution of the bony spine. We have one in our early embryo stages but absorb it. Sometime absorption is incomplete and notochord tissue grows (tumour) unfortunately in the clivus at the base of the brain. 20. Our abdomen. It houses our stomach, our liver, our spleen, great vessels (aorta) small bowel, and colon. In quadripeds it is underneath. An attacker cannot easily get to it. The predator has to attack the tougher back and spine. But in the human the belly is sticking out there For some clawed or toothed predator or knife wielding wielding human criminal to take a swipe and eviscerate us. Ok... What does Holy actually mean? Does it not mean perfect? [ Read More ]
