Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 i have no experience with carpel tunnel however, someone did use my car as her brake one time lol eventually i had a herniated disk and surgery for it so you can feel free to talk about this on the board Pink Joyce IPF 3/06 Pennsylvania Subject: Alaskan JimTo: Breathe-Support Date: Monday, December 1, 2008, 7:50 PM All the best for all your appointments AJ... man do I HATE going to the Dentist, even thought it's usually only for a check n' clean... Hate, Hate , HATE it! I want your drugs pretty please...... . Can I ask you about your Carpal Tunnel Surgery... I've suspected I've had that for years & have just been forced to acknowledge it (numb hands/ arms at night) & confirmed by nerve conduction tests. Of course the recommendation is bi-lateral surgery BUT I'm wary! The numb hands thing is also possibly being caused by compressed nerves in my neck due to confirmed osteoarthritis present there. I'm currently having psyio for that in the hope that it shows an improvment. ( Had a dirty great truck run up the back of my little 2-door sedan years ago... OUCH!) If it is my neck causing the numbness & NOT the Carpal Tunnel is it worth the risks & hassle to have it done. My grip & ability to open lids etc has always been hopeless BUT would that get better anyway????? What was your experience?? ?? Write to me privately so the Board doesn't get fed up with this topic! If anyone else has had this surgery on the Board I'd appreciate you feedback too!
