Guest guest Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I was diagnosed with severe carpal tunnel in both hands about 3 years ago with a medical recommendation for surgery as soon as possible. I was told if I didn't have the surgery there was a possibility I would lose the use of my hands. That was very frightening to me and I agreed. When my colleagues learned of this, they offered to work with me and I didn't have surgery. I believe the problem was coming from my neck and upper thoracic spine as opposed to the carpal tunnel. Still get some numbness and tingling on occasion, but no pain and no surgery. See if you can find the root of the problem and take care of that. Once the integrity of the skin has been broken, we can never undo the results.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 If it is truly CTS and conservative measures have been exhausted, surgery should be considered. I had surgery on both wrists ten years ago and my wrists are fine. No way I could have continued my job without it. After surgery, Graston/ART/exercises will aid in recovery.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 All of the suggestions I have received are appreciated. Perhaps I should have pointed out that this pt has undergone a significant treatment plan of CMT, IFC and manual therapies which provided some relief. However, this is first of all a long-standing problem and secondly he continues to work in a position where he uses a hand-held grinder most of the day. We have discussed his options and he refuses to seek another position less irritating to the median nerve. Larry L.
