I hope it doesn't take you long to get back to normal. Keep us informed if you can.


Marilyn good luck to you, everything will work out fine. I wish you a quick recovery.

Janet have it checked out. I to suffer with carpal tunnel, lately my hand gets very numb and the feeling wakes me up during the night. So I am back to wearing the splint to bed and taking my vitamin B-6 once again. That helped me in the past.. I have it in both hands but one has been bothering me lately.

Gina, your symptoms are just like mine. Don't wait too long to have a nerve study done. The damage can be permenant if you wait too long. I have lots of reasons for putting it off myself. I'll report back after the surgery so you will know better what you may be getting into.

I've had two nerve studies done. They aren't pleasant, but not really bad either.

When I worked at Frito Lay...there were people there getting the surgery done like crazy. I was never bothered by it. Now after all these years I'm having the numbness and it drives me crazy. Trying to turn pages or even sit and pay the bills is so annoying with numb thumbs...lol. I need to get it checked and now that school is out it will be much easier. I just don't understand what can be causing it for me.

I saw that cellphone elbow story too. Doesn't the bluetooth take care of that?

You do get carpal tunnel from computering. I hope you don't need surgery.
