thank Jo and Johanna for the ideas and the infos to help with carpaltunnelsyndrom. I printed it for my mom, and she can decide what she wants to do.
A very interesting thing I found out: in the german and austrian homepages in the internet I read that CTS is not due to computer work - and in the english text it is always computer related. So what believe????
She takes vitamine B1, B6 and B12 and will start physio with ionophorese and a hydroelectric bath for the arms. And in 8 weeks she will have a ENG/EMG again.
So we will see....
@jo: what does MSM mean? I don`t know it and I didn`t find a explication in the internet.

I hope that all members of the TOS family spent a nice and agreable weekend.
Have a good start in a new week!
Barbara
