Could this be Carpal tunel syndrome?

IS SURGERY THE ONLY SOLUTION FOR CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME?

  • I HAVE CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER TREATMENTS FOR CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME OTHER THAN SURGERY..THANK YOU FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO ANSWER :)

  • Answer:

    No, no, no! Surgery is not the answer or the way to fix carpal tunnel syndrome! Please listen to this my dad friend got surgery and it was so much trouble it went away for 7 months and he got back again that's because it didnt fixed the real issue! Yes streching is one of the wonderful things that will help my father was diagnose with carpal tunnel syndrome but we found another alternative wich ended up fixing some other issues because it wasnt only carpal tunnel but also thoracic outlet syndrome which mimics the carpal tunnel! Well we found out that massage will fix both, and by massage I don't mean the crappy stuff you get at a spa, is therapeutic massage also known as neuromuscular therapy (Nmt) or chiropractic massage please save yourself about 2000 and pain by getting massage we even laught when we hear about massage but we are so so thankful because it fixed the problems just look for therapists who know neuromuscular therapy and ask them if the know about carpal tunnel syndrome or thoracic outlet syndrome you could get it with a chiropractor but if you find someone who does it on their own it cheaper apparently chiropractors will try to book you for 4 to 6 sessions and sometimes it can be fix in three sessions if you fallow the exercises like streching and so on! Now I am an abvocate for massage I didn't know the many things that can be helped by massage. If you cannot afford massage please search for videos on YouTube they will teach you stuff you can do on your own that will help a lot with carpal tunnel but please in this case stay away from surgery unless is something more serious! Good luck!

It's tight tendons that are pulling the nerves too close together to give you that pain. Freeing up the tendons in your wrist will let the nerves go back to their normal distance so the pain will be gone. Here's how to free up the tendons in the wrist to get your relief: Wrist: With hand resting in front of you with the palm up, bend your wrist as far as you can.. Then press into the area behind the wrist, where they take your pulse, and hold a good amount of pressure on it. After 30 seconds slowly open your wrist up as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your wrist open for another 30 seconds. For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.

Carpal tunnel will only get worse, you will eventually have to get it taken care of by surgery. I understand that you aren't really excited about that but the longer you wait, the worse it will get. Moms friend had it and waited to long and the recovery was longer. Otherwise you can wear splints or soft braces but painful none the less.

I would consult with a physical therapist, hopefully with one who specializes in conditions of the hand, wrist and arm. I understand stretching exercises can be helpful.

no. it's the only way to release the pressure on the nerves.

No, my dad had to get that surgery a few years ago. He says it's such a relief to be able to use his hands properly now :P but yeah, there are no other ways :/
