Repetitive strain injuries (RSI's) are a blanket term covering problems like carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis and "dorsal wrist syndrome." These problems affect millions of Americans today, but the cure, as always, depends on the cause. If you're experiencing symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, it may help to understand what's actually going on beneath your skin.
According to most recent studies, the damage caused by repetitive strain injuries results from structural changes in the muscle fibers as well as decreased blood flow in the affected areas. Nerves can also be involved (as in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) but nerve compression is not the first problem that occurs. If you're experiencing nerve pain it's because something – usually damaged tissue and inflammation – is pressing down on the nerve, which is what causes the numbness, tingling and loss of mobility that goes along with carpal tunnel syndrome and other RSIs.
But don't take my word for it. If you're experiencing wrist pain, I recommend you do some homework to get a better understanding of what's really causing your pain. It might not be carpal tunnel!
A good place to start is this study on "Overuse Syndrome." A group of scientists took biopsies from the hand muscles of injured and normal subjects, which allowed them to study the structural damage in the muscle fibers and see how it lined up with the severity of the person's symptoms. In another study, biopsies were taken from neck muscles, which revealed that reduced local blood flow was found in the injured areas. In short, the greater the pain, the greater the reduction in blood flow.
So how should you deal with your wrist pain? One way may be to increase your circulation. Here's a pretty good article on how to increase circulation to your arms. Apparently, in this sedentary world of ours, we need to work a little harder to keep our blood moving.
Oh, and if you are using your trackpad to click on any of these links, STOP RIGHT NOW! Read my posts on the ergonomic carpal tunnel mouse and the joys of voice recognition software. I'm using it right now.
To reduce carpal tunnel syndrome you must do some certain exercises. I already read some information on this site. It helped me a lot

ReplyDeleteGood afternoon ,
ReplyDeleteI have had Carpal Tunnel for over 10 years. I am 40 now.
I had tried what the doctors said to use. You know those guys don't have a clue. Surgery first. I tried the OTC supports, no relief, fleeting at best.
My wife's friend gave me one of her braces. Worked great. A brace for night and day. I don't get anything but if anyone's wondering here you go.
http://www.palomedical.com -- it takes you to Amazon. I finally have relief.
Cheaper than surgery and no Obamacare. LOL
Hope this helps.

I've had carpal tunnel for years, and have invented one treatment which always works to give immediate relief, even if it is so bad it feels like a toothache going up under my arm. Just fill a cheap flimsy disposable water bottle 3/4 full with hot water (only as hot as your skin can tolerate for a half minuet at a time at least) Anyway, squeeze out excess air so bottle is half scrunched, screw the cap back on, and put that under your arm in your arm pit, against skin or against a very light shirt, and let your arm down to hold it there. It might take a minuet to find the exact position of the utmost comfort, and you might need to release a bit of water so it's not too bulgy. If you don't get relief within a few seconds, improving greatly over a few minuets, I will eat my hat. This treatment has never failed me. There must be nerves under the arm pit which relax the connected tendons all the way down, I don't know. But this even brings instant relief of numbness. I've recommended this solution to many family and friends who have used it successfully.

ReplyDeleteMy wrist has been hurting for a couple of months now for no reason. I play the piano a lot, and spend a lot of time on the computer at work. I finally went to the doctor to get it x-rayed, and we didn't find any deformities or cysts on my bone. I think it might be carpal tunnel syndrome. http://www.kleisertherapy.com/carpal-tunnel-syndrome/
ReplyDeleteI am in a wheelchair and use my hands all day long for everything. Lately my hands have just been throbbing. Would this situation make me more likely to get carpal tunnel syndrome?

ReplyDeleteFor almost 10 years, I suffered from agonizing shin splints, searching for a way to end my problem that caused me frustration and a whole lot of pain.
ReplyDeleteOne day I was going for a jog around the park when all of a sudden my knees buckled as a gut-wrenching shot of pain rippled through my shins, and I collapsed in a heap.
It felt like a knife being stabbed into the inside of my leg!
I was desperate for answers so I searched everywhere. Books, magazines, the internet.

ReplyDeleteI am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes,Shingles, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid,Parkinson's,Alzheimer’s disease,Bechet’s disease,Crohn’s disease,Cushing’s disease,Heart failure,Multiple Sclerosis,HypertensionFatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Autism,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone ToxicitySyndrome Fibrodysplasia Ossificans ProgresSclerosis,Seizures,Adrenocortical carcinoma.Asthma,Allergic diseases,,Copd,Glaucoma., Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Lung disease.Enlarged prostate,Osteoporosis.
