Hi Everyone,haven't been on the board for a few days it's b/c i'm starting to have starting symtoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (which by the way i also belong to cts board) and need to keep away from the computer so i can get better and then comeback, it really hurts when i overuse my hand, the worst part about it it's that is hard to take care of my son, sometimes i can hardly pick him up, it hurts, and seems like my hand has no strength and it goes numb, so it depresses me b/c i don't and can't do the usual things I do with my son cause of my carpal tunnel. And on good days i feel great, i play with my son, do the things I need to do, and get on the computer so I can get on the board but for that to happen i need breaks. And right now is my signal to get off the computer, I feel a pinch of pain :( so laterz guys

Thank you for listen...:)

Alicia, BIG ((((HUGS))))) to you! I know how CTS can hurt. You take care of those hands/wrists and come visit us when you can. A massage therapist showed me a way to massage my arms down to my wrists that really helps with the pain. Has anyone showed you how? Email me through my profile so I can explain to you how.

I am sorry you are having to deal with such pain.
Is there any way to help with the pain, like meds, therapy?
Well, glad you were able to come on the board and post. Hope to see you on again soon.

Hi, yeah I take pain killers, mostly at night so I can sleep, they recommended a hand & wrist brace it should help in the way I move my hand and wrist, and get more confort. and to help not get worse.
