Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Posted: 05-23-07 05:53am
Hi all
I have just been told by my GP that I
might have carpal tunnel syndrome. I am
being referred to a rheumtology specialist
at guys hospital.
I have been expericing pain for the last
6-7 months in my fingers and lately I have
been getting alot of pain from my elbow,
thumb and wrist. Also get the numbness and
tingling feeling aswell. The main pain
started in my little finger during the
night and I could not move it for a little
while. It also felt like my knuckle had
come out of place.
I would be interested to hear about other
peoples experiences of this and wonder if
my symptoms are the same as anyones elses
who has been told they have CTS.. Would
also like to hear about peoples treatments
they have had whether drugs or surgery. Ie
did they have drug treatment first or was
given the surgery option straightaway.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
Chrissie

Many people try to avoid both drugs and
surgery, some have luck some don't. You
might try a Chiropractor and / or
supplementing with vitamin b6.
Good luck and God bless!

I was sent for tests and the doctor said
that I had carpal tunnel syndrome worse in
my right arm but I had it in my left arm
too.
My hand would feel numb and sometimes I
would lose strength in it and things would
just fall out of my hand. It was kind of
scary.
I had a friend share a nutritional health
juice with me. I was skeptical but it
helped a ton. I don't have any problems
with either arm any more. My arms don't
fall asleep at night and things don't just
fall out of my hands because I can't grip
them.
The doctor had been talking about doing
surgery on my right arm. Thank goodness I
didn't have to go thru that.
