Carpal Tunnel, anyone had to deal this.

[syborg tt]

okay i'll try to type it here. I had (yes had) carpal tunnel in both hands. Let me give you some background on me. My degree's are in personal training and sports rehab post therapy. I no longer work in the field but i still do some consulting.

Here is what a very good PT Occupational Therapist taught me and yes it actually worked

1. You need to small buckets (1 gallon size)

2. Fill Bucket #1 half way up with ice cold water, then put in at least 3 inches of ice

3. Fill Bucket #2 with Warm (not hot) water

4. Stick bad hand in Bucket 1 for at least 1-2 minutes (longer is better if you can stand the cold. I worked up to 5 minutes)

5. Remove hand from Bucket 1 and stick it in bucket #2 for 5 minutes (water should actually feel hot since the last bucket was so darn cold)

6. Repeat this process 3 times.

7. You need to do this in the morning, when you return home from work and prior to going to bed.

It took about 4 weeks before i started feeling almost nomal again. The other thing you need to do is talk with a therapist about wrist flexion / extension and abduction / adduction. You would be amazed at all the little things you do in your life that compound the problem.

shoot me a pm and i'll send you my number and i'll try to expain the theory as to why this therapy works
