When my carpal tunnel flared up seriously, (from hypothyroidism) during my pregnancy years ago, the pain
went up my arm just like you describe. Most drugstores and
even WalMart have the wrist splints affordably. They can help quite a bit. They are worth a try when pain is a huge issue. Often more than one thing can be going on you know.  |
I will try tonight. I have splints from CTS before and this pain and swelling is very different. I have never had surgury for this but use to wear the splints. I will have my Dr, Check this out. Thank you for you explainations, very imformative.
