Well my neuro told me that the study showed very slight carpal tunnel in my left wrist. The nerves in my legs and arms were ok. The only problem is my feet. They hurt especially if they get cold or I exercise too much ( walking ). The pain is not bad and mostly in my toes. I started on 1800mg gabapentin & 20mg of nortriptelene. Cut gaba to 900mg a day due to dizzy feelings. As for the carpal tunnel I told him I don't use my left hand for much. I do take several supplements 800mg of a blend of 4 types magnesium tumeric avery good vitamin/mineral tab. A b complex vitamin & 10, 000mg D3 on doctors orders. I do a 400mg of vit E.
I read on here somewhere one of the members started a different vit E a nd had great results. Does anyone remember where that post might be or the type of vit E referenced.

Bet you get the post you're looking for before the day is done. These people are amazing don't you think ?

I'm back to 1800 mg of gabapentin after having dizzy and crazy issues at 2700 mg of gabapentin. My mind is clearer but the pain in my feet is worse. Trade one thing for another

I'm on a round of prednisone right now so I'm feeling GOOD !

Are you wearing the wrist splints designed for carpal tunnel?

This one is a new type, and very comfortable. I just received my left handed one, Monday. I have been wearing the right handed one since summer, when I sprained my right hand opening a jar.
I have had carpal tunnel for over 30 yrs now, and it is mostly quiet.
It was very serious during my pregnancy however.

This brace is very comfortable compared to my past braces.
And also very much less $$ at Amazon compared to CVS locally.
I tried them on in the store, and came home and ordered from Amazon once I figured out the size. (I use a L/XLG and find it is not that "big" really.) I have wide wrists and my hands sometimes swell when my angioedema flares up..

I only wear mine at night.

You need to find out if you are hypothyroid, because this can really cause carpal tunnel. Also diabetic PN will do it too.

Is there something you do with your hands? Some tool or gripping twisting thing? I can flare planting in the garden using a trowel too much. So I found a new trowel with a sharp cutting edge that really helped. Some musicians get carpal tunnel... guitar players, etc. Also weight lifting.

You might also try taking the activated B6--- P5P... If you are not activating B6 properly this will bypass it. One of these daily is all you need. This one is also enteric coated because P5P is not stable in stomach acid.
This is the one I used back when my hands were giving me more grief:

I have zero pain in my left wrist have never had any pain. Ism right handed. I told the neuro this and he said the reading was so slight to not worry about it.

In the beginning carpal tunnel is numbness and tingling.
Often the affected hand goes numb when sleeping. I first noticed it before my pregnancy when gripping the steering wheel of the car.
(this was 2-3 yrs before the pregnancy at age 34).

Pain did not come to me until I was pregnant and it escalated to
alarming levels!

Most carpal tunnel is thought today to be metabolic in origin.
It used to be always thought to be a repetitive strain, but now the thinking is that the strain "reveals" it but doesn't in fact cause it.

When I had my EMGs on my arms in my 5th month, the doctor was concerned that they showed 80% loss of function. This mostly resolved after my son was born. But I still have it to some extent mostly in my right hand today. If I don't strain it somehow, I don't notice it. But if I try to sew with a needle, I have 10 minutes at best before my hand goes numb. I can type and use a computer mouse quite well today, luckily. But lifting something really heavy, or twisting the wrong way, will set off a major pain stab, which then leads to more numbness and tingling unless I wear the brace for a while. Everyone is going to be different.

The same tendon compression in the feet is called tarsal tunnel syndrome. If I tie my athletic shoe laces too tightly, my toes will go numb as well. My carpal tunnel was thought to be due to hypothyroid functions at the time.
