Carpal Tunnel

[Guest guest]

Hello everone,

I'm also new to the group. I'm here in the Hoosier state, IN. I have

been lurking. I was diagnosed w/ CMT almost 5 yrs ago. has me

intrigued too. I love the fact that he is so as my sis , Cathy who is

also a member of CMTUS, would say upbeat. I worked in a factory where

they made bearings. My job was to pack & assemble the bearings. One day

at my job my hand & arm went totally weak. There was pain too. They

sent me to company Drs. & I also had EMG. They could not distinguish

between Carpal Tunnel & CMT. I still think I had Carpal Tunnel. Needless

to say, I had to retire on a disability soon after that. I have been

diagonosed also w' Fibromyalgia & Osteoarthritis, wich i think the

arthritis was also caused from my job, doing repetitive motions w/ my

hands. I bid on janitorial, taking a pay cut, but alas, my poor feet

couldn't take that!! Walking, all day on my feet, on concrete floors was

disabling. Well, I will quit rambling on for now.

I totally agree with the chiropractic treatment. I

started having the carpel tunnel symptoms, wearing

wrist brace. Got an adjustment from a most excellent

chiro doc here in Austin, no more problems.
