There are a number of things that you can do!. One go to a pharmacy and buy wrist cock up splints!. Wear them during the day if possible and definitely wear them to bed at night!. Next take a look at your posture!. This might be a more difficult one to do but are you slouched or round shouldered!? A good number of carpal tunnel problems are not really with the wrist but in the neck!. Have a doctor refer you to a physical therapist!. They will check your posture and mobility along with the wrist!. Here are a few stretches that you can do in the meantime!. One stand with your body parallel to a wall!. Extend one arm out at shoulder height and place the hand on the wall!. Position the hand so that the fingers are pointing in the opposite direction than you are looking!. Slowly turn your body until you feel a stretch in the arm!. Hopefully this will be when your body is parallel to the wall!. When you can reach that position slowly turn your neck away from the arm!. Hold that stretch for ten seconds!. Repeat twice more!. From the last position instead of turning the head slowly list the head away from the shoulder!. Again do this stretch three times for ten seconds!. For pain in the wrists use ice or a large basin of cold water and ice for fifteen to twenty minutes as often as allowable!. Get to a therapist who will be able to help you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I am an Orthopedic Technician and work in hand surgery!. You need to see a hand surgeon!. I personally had the surgery 8 years ago and it was easy and took all my pain away!. Wear a wrist brace at night to sleep and during the day if the numbness and pain start!. Carpal tunnel is cause from pressure applied to the median nerve and this is why you need to have it released!. Find a good Hand surgeon!.!. Best of wishes!. If you live in Richmond, VA I can recommend a few to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
