Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.... advice please?


I've had carpal tunnel syndrome since I was pregnant with my son 2 years ago.
I get it every night and during the day when I'm pushing the buggy, on the phone and even when I'm eating my dinner. Anytime really when my hand is elevated.
I'm not too keen on the operation but I've not heard anything about the injection.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Wrist splints would be no good as I'd have to wear them all the time.
Does anyone know if there's anything homeopathic I can take to alleviate the symptoms? Many thanks :)

All I know is DONT GET CORTISONE shots! They frickin KILL and didnt help in the long run

I had carpal tunnel when I was 16. I brought some heated gloves to improve my circulation and the operation is day surgey which you cant use your hand for weeks. did help tho. I still get the odd pain now when using pc.

grape seed extract and a high b complex worked for me.

i did my weight in milligrams for the grapeseed so if you weigh a hundred pounds - take a hundred mgs.

a b-100 complex is what i used. make sure it doesn't have more than 400 mgs. of folic. you don't want to do that.

providing you aren't allergic to any of these, breast feeding or on seizure meds - this ought to be fine. run it by your doc, just to be sure. i mention the seizure meds as a precaution because i read it once many moons ago.

wear the wrist brace to bed and as much as possible.

i had it years ago as I'm a nurse it killed every time i needed to use my hands,i tryed the tablets,splints and even had the injections in my wrists,i tryed rapping my wrists in a warming blanket but nothing helped.i ended up having to have the operation as my work was suffering and i will be honest it hurts and you have your hands wrapped up for ages and you cant use your hands for anything which is a pain in the ****.
but with me it was the only thing that work,the op does work but you have to go through a bit of pain first.the only time i feel the pain now is when i have my hands in water along time so i now get out of the washing up!

Go into Gary Craig's website www.emofree.com--EFT may be able to help--use his search engine for the condition--I seem to remember an article there which said EFT helped just recently.

I had carpal tunnel syndrome after each of my children was born and while I was pregnant. After my last child was born it didn't go away. I went to my GP who refered me to a specialist. After having loads of tests the specialist said I needed and operation to decompress the nerves in my wrists. I had the operation done under a local anaesthetic and had both hands done at the same time. My hands were a bit sore for a couple of days but I didn't need to take painkillers. While the bandages were on and I had stitches in my hands there wasn't a lot I could do but I managed. After ten days the stitches came out and I have never suffered with carpal tunnel syndrome since. When I look at my hands I can't even see the scars. Before I had the surgery people told me it wouldn't be successful and everyone knew someone who had had it done only to be worse afterwards. Get yourself referred to a specialist, it was the best thing I did. Good luck.
