How Do You Know If You Have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?I have pain in my right wrist that comes and goes. some days are worse than others and some days it doesnt hurt at all. It is right at the pulse point on my wrist, and hurts when I try to lift or make a pinching motion with my thumb and 1st and 2nd finger. Any ideas? I saw a doctor today and she thought maybe arthritis or tendinitis, but made no mention of CTS. I was prescribed Naproxen and a wrist splint. Should I get a second opinion? [ Read More ]

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Question?Besides surgery, are there any other options or home remedies for CTS? For me, it comes and goes in both of my hands. At times, it is very painful and just plain annoying! I've tried the wrist splints, but they don't work. I've heard about getting a shot. But from what I've heard, it is only a temporary fix. If the problem does get even worse, I will probably have to get the procedure done at the doc! Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks! [ 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 ]

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.... Advice Please?I've had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome since I was pregnant with my son 2 years ago. I get it every night and during the day when I'm pushing the buggy, on the phone and even when I'm eating my dinner. Anytime really when my hand is elevated. I'm not too keen on the operation but I've not heard anything about the injection. Can anyone suggest anything? Wrist splints would be no good as I'd have to wear them all the time. Does anyone know if there's anything homeopathic I can take to alleviate the symptoms? Many thanks :) [ Read More ]

Is Surgery The Only True Treatment/cure For Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?Point being, it seems to me that everything else (meaning wrist splints, NSAIDs, cortisone shots, exercises, etc) is just to help prevent symptoms and do not help cure the problem. The reason I ask is because I have it and I'd just go straight for surgery if that's the only thing that's going to correct the problem. [ Read More ]

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome???I just found out I have Carpal tunnel. I have been in so much pain and my doc wants me to wear a Splint for 7 weeks before i go back to see him. any suggestions on how to prevent this from getting worse? I'm typing one handed now, and wearing the splint. I type for a living, so what else can i do? Yesterday the doc gave me a steroid shot in my nerve and it made the swelling go down temporarily.

Is My Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Back?I was diagnosed with cts in my left hand a year ago, told that it was caused by having very small wrists. I was given splints, diclofenac, cortisone injection and then finally had surgery 7 months ago. All was fine until about 6 weeks ago when I started getting tingling and numbness in my finger tips. Then that burning ache through my hand and up my arm, and finally shooting, electric shock, type pains across the bottom of my wrist where my scar is. Seen 2 doctors since, one says cts has returned, the other says this almost unheard of. Again I've been given diclofenac and a splint. Both doctors say my job is not making it worse and as I'm right handed I don't put that much pressure on my left, but feel like I'm back where I started. Is it normal for it to return so quickly or is it likely to be something else? What are the treatment options from here? [ Read More ]

Had Nerve Conduction Study Today Doc Says Carpal Tunnel Syndrome The Worst He's Seen In Someone My Age.?I'm 46 and my left hand was 5.32 and the right hand was 5.85. He said my only alternative is surgery because I'm too far gone to do anything else. He said I would get only minor relief from physical therapy and I've been wearing splints for the last 3 weeks. I would like to get a second opinion but I don't want to take that test again. It was very painful. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas? Thanks [ Read More ]
