DrugBuyers.Com: Carpal Tunnel

Hi Pecan!
Thanks for your response. I'm sorry I have not replied sooner. I would definitely like to hear more from you, you seem very knowledgeable.
My pain is a fiery deep ache in the meaty portion of my thumb, across my wrist, and up the index finger. Sometimes it radiates up to my elbow. Sometimes I do have pain in the ring and pinky finger (though that is rather recent). I CONSTANTLY have electric type shocks when I perform simple hand maneuvers, usually those that invole a grip and turn (opening a jar, turining a faucet knob, turning a key), and I have greatly reduced any of those movements. I also have some numbness occurring in toes. Don't know if it's related. My primary doc suggested carpal tunnel surgery. I am scared. It seems any of these pinched/compressed nerve type injuries are hard to fix. It seems like once you start the surgery process, it's surgery after surgery. How did you start having problems?
Mid-October, I have an appointment with the chief of hand and wrist surgery at Wash. U. in St Louis. He considered one of the best in the country. He's done players for the Rams, the Blues, and the Cardinals! Take care! Sincerely, Lisa
