I have one had especially that loses feeling and tinles, like it has gone to sleep and no matter what I do it wont stop for hours. And somtimes radiates up my arm into the shouldrer. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
hi, i've got carpel tunnel in both hands and those are the signs. i've had surgery on one and it didn't work for me now it radiates into my elbow with the name of ulnar neuropathy. i suggest you see a hand doctor to help you out with your situation.
I have had carpal tunnel for a few years now, had numerous injections and splinting, physical therapy, the works; didn't want to opt for the surgery though.
When I first started getting symptoms, they came as numbness while sleeping (whole arms) shooting and radiating pains in forearms, sore wrists and ability to break every dish in my house. The pain would also radiate up to my shoulder area. My elbows were also severly affected and painful. My grip was terribly affected and I had trouble holding things. I would see a doctor, take a strong look at what you are doing at work, home, anything that strains the hands, repetitive motion type things.
The braces that are made for this are good to wear at night, at least they helped me. I did have to quit my job and watch my typing for about a long time.
You have to change the way you do a lot of things and stretching really helps. My symptoms are not near as bad as they used to be, I had trouble putting on pants and pulling them up because my hands were so bad.
Hope this helps a little. Everyone is different, so many of these things may not apply to you, but I would just be careful and try to take action before it gets bad.
You can try placing the affected hand palm side down on a table waist height while standing and putting a bit of weight onto the hand and gently pull back on your thumb. This will stretch your flexor retinaculum, let the synovial fluid bath the median nerve and allow it to glide along the tendon that is (more often than not in your case) crushing it. This, if done multiple times throughout the day, should provide some relief.
