Haven't tried B6, this is the first I've heard of this. Might try it while I'm waiting to see the Dr. I do wear magnetic jewelry sometimes. Can't say that I've seen a difference from the magnets. I also wear wrist splints to bed every night, but it's getting to where they aren't doing much good. My wrists hurt almost all the time now, and the pain can go up to my shoulders. Fingers numb, the works.

I will wait to see this surgeon. He's the best hand surgeon locally and is considered to be very good. If he does orthoscopic surgery for carpal tunnel, I'll probably have him do it. If not, I will go to someone in Houston. I've heard there are some there who do it as an outpatient. That's what I want, minimally invasive and back to work the next day with bandaids, not big dressings and no big incisions to heal and no general anesthesia.

This surgeon did hand surgery on our daughter Karen when she was little. She had trigger thumb. Of course he did that under general because she was only about 5 years old.

I've had surgery so many times, with general anesthesia. At least 9 times if I'm not leaving anything out. It's really not a big deal any more, but would rather avoid it if possible.
