Can carpal tunnel be caused by head injury?
Not exactly.There is a long nerve(median nerve) that exits out of your neck bones(vertebrae),travels through your shoulder,upper and lower arm,through your wrist area (called the carpal tunnel) and branches out into your thumb,and first 3 fingers.If you have some type of neck injury..say a ruptured disc at the location where this nerve originates,then you can have symptoms that mimic carpal tunnel syndrome(CTS).True CTS is from prolonged pressure/inflammation on the median nerve at the carpal tunnel area in your wrist .Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a collection of characteristic symptoms and signs that occurs following entrapment of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel. Usual symptoms include numbness, paresthesias, and pain in the median nerve distribution. These symptoms may or may not be accompanied by objective changes in sensation and strength of median-innervated structures in the hand. Given that carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is associated with low aerobic fitness (and increased BMI), it makes inherent sense to provide the patient with an aerobic fitness program.
Is there any medications for carpal tunnel syndrome?
Yes there are actually exercises that can be given, after diagnosis from a Doctor and a referal to a Physiotherapist. The type of exercises and amount of vists to the Physio that are required would be dependant on each individual case and the severity of the carpal tunnel syndrome. At home exercises could include icing, stretching, and massage.
DOL OWCP denied my claim after the doctor diagnosised it as carpal tunnel syndrome DOL stated that the injury could not have caused carpal tunnel syndrome is there any recourse?
You have not given enough information. Carpal tunnel is an occupational disease. I think that is what it is called. It is caused from repetitive motion. It is not caused from one specific injury. If you had a specific injury it could not have caused the carpel tunnel. However, you may still have an OWCP claim for the carpel tunnel if you return to your doctor and ask them what caused the carpel tunnel . If there is a repetitive component to your job,i.e keying mail? Keyboard? this may be the cause of carpel tunnel, then it is indeed a claim for OWCP. You did not say what the injury was or what the results were but the carpel tunnel was just something the doctor happened to find when he examined you after the accident . You have had it all along , not just because of the accident.

Does drinking alcohol effect carpal tunnel?
Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by repetitive actions, such as typing, or playing a musical instrument. Drinking will not cause Carpel Tunnel as long as you switch hands every 2.7 minutes.. :) Sorry. Couldn't resist a little levity. I was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome many years ago. The Orthopedic Surgeon said that in my case it was most likely caused by the repetitive motions required when playing musical instruments. I had heard that gout could be aggravated by alcohol intake and so I asked him if that was true about CTS. His answer was, "There is no evidence of that that I am aware of." Still, I switch hands every 2.7 minutes, just to be on the safe side. BTW, the surgery was almost painless.

How much Vitamin B complex should a 65 year old woman take for carpal tunnel syndrome and will it help?
You could take one multi-vitamin a day or one B6 type of vitamin a day and that would be more than enough to see if it will help. Most American diets contain enough vitamin B6 though. And the only way it would ever help Carpal tunnel syndrome is if you were deficient, which is probably unlikely. Homeopathic believers of this form of treatment have not been able to produce unbiased data or studies to show that it works for carpal tunnel syndrome. There has been one limited study years ago that I know of, where the test subjects were deficient in vitamin B but this was done in another country outside of U.S., they were also showing other signs as well, such as other nerve problems and cracked lips etc.. Just be careful and don't take mega doses because it could tax your liver, and give you abdominal and intestinal problems. ************************************************************** Carpal tunnel syndrome is the result of inflammation of the nerve going through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. Moringa Oleifera, naturally containing 36 anti-inflammatories, can provide pain relief. Search on Moringa.
