Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Lydia, Have you gotten a second opinion? I only ask because I thought I had Carpel Tunnel for years of desk work. I'm a technical writer for an insurance company, and all I do is type. I finally got my doc to send me to a specialist and they performed an EMG on me--Come to find out, it was not carpel tunnel at all, but a pinched nerve in my neck. I had to get an EMG done to get this figured out. If you havent had one, I was suggest seeing a neurology specialist first. I hated the EMG, as I am afraid of needles. They basically stick a needle attached to a microphone in certain parts of your hand, arm, neck and shoulders and listen for distruption. They got to the back of my arm and it sounded like a drum roll. The nerve in my neck was being pinched and causing pain all the way down to my pinky finger. I took Bextra for a while....but that just got taken off the market yesterday. But honestly, since starting BFL, I've had no issues. Not sure if this helps. But, just wanted to offer another possibility. I've heard so many horror stories about CT surgery, I would make it a last resort.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 They did a test like that (at a neurologist's office) when they were determining my candidacy for surgery... I won't be having the surgery, because they said I don't need it. I have had the diagnosis pretty well confirmed... and it's pretty obvious that it IS in the wrist, as when I turn my wrist without moving my upper arm I can feel a " click " if that makes any sense... as if the ligament were catching on something. Heavy lifting is what seems to aggravate it the most... in fact, I believe that's what started it off to begin with. It's worst in my right wrist, but does affect the left a little, too. Thanks for responding! : ) ~Lydia P.S. That test where they prick you all over really sux! I hope I never go through it again... www.sistersunshine.com Re: Carpal Tunnel Lydia, Have you gotten a second opinion? I only ask because I thought I had Carpel Tunnel for years of desk work.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 > Are there any BFL veterans in here who have had carpal tunnel problems? Mine > is acting up, and I have already been told I'm not a candidate for surgery. Did they do a nerve conduction study? Is that how they determined you were not a candidate for surgery? I have carpal tunnel and/or neck problems. The reason I won't have surgery is that I can't find a doctor who can tell me with 100% or even 90% surity that my hand symptoms will be relieved by surgery. This is because I also have neck problems. My hands go numb " backwards " from normal carpal. Pinky in vs. thumb in. Night splints and ibuprofen help tremendously. I do not do any weights with resistance like machines or cables, especially cable. I only can use dumbells and have to choose my exercises carefully. I don't do anything that places weight on my wrists (push ups, triceps dips, yoga moves, etc.). The trick for me was finding what exercises made it worse and avoiding those exercises. I have had it since 1994. I swear by a therapy called Bowen Therapy. www.bowtech.com I have tried " everything " from regular mds, to pt, chiro, accupuncture, etc. and this is the ONLY therapy that has actually reduced my meds. I only wear my splints at night. I used to wear them about 50% of the time during the day. Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Yes, I guess that's what the tests were... anyway, I don't have surgery as an option cuz they said no and I can't pay cash!

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Hi Lydia..I had carpal tunnel surgery done a year ago Aug on both of my hands...yes, I am an idiot. I'll say this for it..I'v had nothing but problems with my hands since. They hurt constantly, my fingers are tight and I can't move them very well in the morning..it's an arthritic pain and the Dr's don't know what's wrong with them. So avoid the surgery if you can..if you can't avoid it..do the smart thing and have a plastic surgen do the cutting instead of a neurologist...best of luck to you.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Hi: I have read about your Carpal tunnel healing through the subspace, and I want to ask you to share the protocolos you used.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 One of the things that I have found over the past 7 years on the QX is that often Carpal tunnel is not carpal tunnel at all but a symptom from Thoracic Outlet Syndrome where the neck or shoulder muscles cause a numbing and pain in the wrist and hands, you might wish to do a bit of investigating yourself and do the therapy for this issue as well. Bet you'll be surprised how many get better once you do this (one are in Cranial Sacral and the other in Short Sarcode Rx in Misc. Rx).

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 In the disease module there is a " treatment " for carpal tunnel. In the Therapy you can choose auto meridian, then go to the yellow box that says " SEG quadrant therapy for pain or.... " , at the bottom check, it will then do an analysis, and after that I just " treat all " . In the Sports Programs there is a gray box that says " Sports Injuries " , you can click on that....you will not see the menu for " Sports Injuries " until after you close the " Sports Program " . In the Sports injuries there is a choice for " overuse repetitive injury " as well as a box where you can describe the problem in detail. In the timed therapies I always piggyback the carpal tunnel. These have been very effective for me and others via SubSpace.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 There are also facilities in Cranio sacral. Often carpal tunnel is nerval reflection from the spine: this and/or dermatomes can also be considered.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 There is also a carpal tunnel in the Cranial Sacral panel and another in the Short Sarcode Rx under Ear & Etc. But don't forget to do the Trivector run on the spine (Spinal) to see what the C5-7 or the T1-3 look like as it may be more due to the neck/or upper back or more to do with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome coming from the shoulder pinching and radiating the pain into the hand and wrist. It happens often. Both of the locations listed above also have this treatment.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I had something a few years ago, to the point of wearing a brace in order to relieve pain and stress on it.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 My chiro, years ago, gave me an easy cure Take 2 rubber bands - the thicker 1/3 inch wide ones that are 5 or 6 inches in circumference Put both around your fingers and thumb and stretch fingers and thumb out - extend them. Do that whenever you think about it. Problem with carpal tunnel is that we all do so much flexion of fingers but very little extension This gives you the balancing extension of fingers. I keep the rubber bands around my wrist so every ready to do those exercises, when I have symptoms The surgery is terrible Also see a chiropractor who does more than just crack backs. I also had problems one time with overuse of mouse and computer and also dragging suitcase through Honolulu airport and straining my arm, up to my shoulder. This chiro did deep tissue/tendon area massage up in my shoulder that helped release the problem Sheri At 06:55 AM 11/25/2008, you wrote: >Hey everyone, > Had a quick question for everyone, I know it isnt vaccine related >but wanted to see if anyone in the group has or is familiar with >carpal tunnel?

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 My first exposure to acupuncture was for carpal tunnel syndrome. A coworker HOUNDED me to use acupuncture, because it cure a very acute case in her. I finally gave in and went to the acupuncturist, and it was gone in four sessions (two weeks). I continued with a six-week course of acupuncture, and have never had it return. That was in 2001. I also see a chiropractor who was able to help my body heal itself from severe tendonitis in my elbow. I had been through three rounds of physical therapy for it and that did no good... one adjustment from my chiro did the trick after living with it for four years... so my advice would be chiro and acupuncture.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I also had very quick results with acupuncture, and arnica which I happened to take for an unrelated problem. It seemed the 2 in combination stopped the inflammation and completely healed my wrist! And I even kept doing what caused it in the first place; dragging a stroller up 3 flights of stairs ;0 Keep up the yoga; it can eventually strengthen the muscles around your wrist, making a flare-up unlikely. There are adjustments you can make while your wrists still hurt, ask a qualified teacher to show you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hi Konia, I have taken diuretics for years to ease carpal tunnel syndrome- which did help make it a lot easier, but the biggest improvement was whjen I got the right thyoid meds- levothyroxine left me with many hypothyroid symptoms. Now it is only a minor irritation if I have to grip for a long time. thyroid treatment From: tacktours@...Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2009 21:01:32 +0100Subject: carpal tunnel Dear all, I had a look for information on this on the website, but I might be too stupid to find it. I've got Hashimoto and developed carpal tunnel 1 1/2 years ago, which was recently diagnosed when I also developed a trigger thumb (up to then it used to be green..). Has anyone got experience with carpal tunnel & trigger thumb(s)? Steroidinjections, operations, gentler ways to sort these problems? Thank you for your reply.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hi Konia - go to our web site www.tpa-uk.org.uk and click on 'Hypothyroidism' and then, on the drop down Menu, click on 'Symptoms and Signs' and you will find all these symptoms there. Many, many sufferers of hypothyroidism suffer with carpal tunnel syndrome. What do you mean about your 'trigger thumb' being " green " before that.
