Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Support Group
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a medical condition in which the median nerve is compressed at the wrist causing symptoms like tingling, numbness, night time wakening, pain, coldness, and sometimes weakness in parts of the hand. CTS is more common in women than it is in men, and has a peak incidence around age 50 (though it can occur in any adult).
I have been having pain involving the one thumb and it is painful for quite a while now. I never knew this exhisted, but I am being diagnosed with De Quervains Tendonitis and we're waiting for blood work to come back and I see a hand/wrist carpal tunnel specialist. The site is below for anyone that may have something similar. If you click on the green link it will take you into the site, then scroll down to get to it.

It shows you drawings of what it is and I definitely want the special hand and thumb brace first as the carpal tunnel brace for my carpal tunnel doesn't support and protect the thumb. I don't have any young children that I'm lifting, but I do test positive on the Finkelstein test.
Amazing what we learn.

I didn't post for the herbs or whatever and I can't recommend them, I only posted for the good drawings they have to really explain, but the great photo of the brace used.

Does this effect your fingers as well? Stiff in a.m for a bit?
