My doc tor said I had the classic carpal tunnel symptoms  |
| |
| he wanted to do the resitance test. I rrefused, because I knew I would refuse the surgery. Because of some pain issues I was also seeing a chiropracter. Both the chiro and the Dr. recommended B6 for arthritis in mega doses, because I would not take Vioxx/Celebrex etc. For two weeks 400 mg. divided in the day, then drop to 200 mg. daily. When I am really faithful I can do 100 mg. daily. If you do this, be monitored by a doctor as B6 in mega doses can cause nerve damage. In researching carpal tunnel I also read that losing even a little weight if you are heavy helps, and getting enough sleep at night. I also take many vitamins including cod liver oil capsules (recommended by eye doctor). When my wrists were at their worst I also ordered from a health catalogue (Dr. Leonard's) a pair of wrist guards that are soft Knit, with magnetic threads. Hope this helps someone else. | | | | | |

| | I wear supports when necessary, but taking supplements, losing a little weight and getting more exercise really helps. I have a little trouble now, because I have been lazy about supplements, and I am typing a lot on myLot. But I love it, what can I say. Have a Merry Christmas. | | | |

| | Since I joined the forum and I have been skipping the supplements, I have some difficulty. Back to the vitamins, since I will not give up my myLot. I forgot to mention that I also bought a parafin bath for my hands and it is SO soothing. The cost of the parafin bath was about the same as the cost of four treatments in an OT or Chiro office, and I can do it as often as I like. | | | |

| | all good ideas. My husband had carpal tunnel. No surgery, and he is okay now. With all the typing and manipulation of my hands you would think I would get it. What does cod liver oil do for your eyes? | | | | | | |

| | I had complained that I was having a difficult time "recovering " from seeing a bright light, like in traffic, or even at church, the platform lights in my eyes in the choir left halos behind for quite awhile. He said vitamin A would help. Vitamin A and D are both found in Cod Liver Oil. I am glad I take it, when I do, as we are also now hearing that because of sunscreen use, or because of cloudiness or pollution, lots of people are short of Vit. D (sunlight on the skin produces D), leading to brittle bones, and some cancers. | | | |

| | i wonder how do we get carpal tunnel, is it due to prolonged typing? or maybe due to washing hands after a tiring day's work? i want to know as i am feeling a little uneasy with my wrist most of the time and the pain is killing me. | | | | | | |

| | Over use, or repetitive use.The tunnel that your nerves go through becomes inflamed. Swells. I read somewhere that overweight ( which I am )makes it worse. | | | |

| | Thank you for the advise. I have it in both my wrists, as I am a scissor cutting silhouette artist. The pain is off the roof at times. I wrap them, and that will help a tiny bit. Celebrex is dangerous, as it can cause bleeding. Be careful please. | | | | | | |
