Re: pins & needles in hands

[Guest guest]

I too had carpal tunnel in both hands. For several years I tried every

known remedy, braces, cortisone etc. Nothing really worked so, one at a

time I had surgery done. It worked. No more numbness. I can knit, sew and

do other repetitive tasks without discomfort. It didn't affect the RLS

which continued just as bad as before.

June,

I had my right hand operated on after suffering a long time from Corpal

Tunnel Syndrome. The terrible pain up my arm kept me up at night,

besides suffering from pins & needles on & off during the day, I

decided to go through with the operation because if prolonged, one can

lose the sensation in the fingers. which leads to dropping things. The

operation was a success.

This all happened about 7-8 years AFTER rls set in & it didn't make my

rls any worse.
