I think it is a fear thing that this stuff is never talked about. When I started having symptoms, I didn't want to admit it. However, through a variety of techiques I have been able to achieve a 100% reversal of the condition. It was fascinating to me to read the root causes of this problem and to realize that so much of it is related to the nerves which are nowhere near the source of discomfort (ie. the wrists). I use several ergonomic devices, a program called Workrave to pace myself, and an intense stretching regimen. The most eye opening thing to me was that only one or two of the stretches focus on the wrists. In fact, the ones that have the most dramatic effect focus on the upper arms, shoulders and neck. And for the normal disclaimer... I am told that every case is different and what I have described as helpful for me may or may not apply to you. You should consult someone trained in this sort of thing... but do beware of your average doctor. It is frightening that within about a week of reading I found myself possessing more information about the topic than most of the doctors I have heard about. I just think about a friend of mine who went in for surgery on a supposed CTS condition. I know that she did not possess the information that I now have, nor did her doctor even hint that there could be more wrong with her than her wrists. |
