Re: writing problems - question about information

[Guest guest]

Amy - excuse me for my lack of memory - but, was carpel tunnel

syndrome ruled out? Have you gotten a second opinion? What about

possible damage to the nerves? Has that been considered? I'm not a

medical person at all - just using a little old common sense - that

I'm hoping your physicians are using. Let me know.

Hi Amy,

Sorry about your wrist. My wife is going through a similar

experience. Her problem stems from the fact she is always trying

to crush her pen or pencil when she writes. So after years of

grasping so hard, the muscles are giving out. It is also turning

into arthritis.

She went to a physical therapist and they have given her

exercises to do. It helps some but not much. She also has some

medication for the pain but she doesn't take it because it makes

her very drowsy and naseous.

Maybe you might want to consult with a p/t or o/t also. Just a

thought.

Hope this helps.
