Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

You should always see your doctor with these symptoms. Most of the time it's stress through the neck and shoulder area and when under stress the muscles freeze up (like a knot.) A good soak in the tub with Epsom Salts will certainly help, and rub your neck and shoulders well with A535. If you are still having this problem then please see your doctor immediately.

If the pins and needles go along with a heavy chest or jaw pain call 911! It may be due to anxiety due to stress (many patients think they are having a heart attack and it turns out to be anxiety.) It's better to be safe than sorry.

NumbnessNumbness and tingling and parasthesia on the left side of the body means that there may be an abnormality in the right side of the brain.It can be a neurological pathology like motor neuron disease,TIA or stroke or autoimmune condition like multiple sclerosis in which the immune system attacks the central nervous system (CNS), leading to demyelination.It can be diagnosed by MRI brain and MRS of the brain.

Other possibilities are vit B12 deficiency,diabetes, hypothyroidism, hypoparathyroidism or peripheral nerve trauma or compression.

If tingling is there only on the left half of the body,it means a right side pathology of the brain.So I feel that clinical evaluation from a neurologist is necessary to rule it out.

no; i do believe that most dyes are safe, however, i read that kool aid (sometimes used for colouring hair) has an ingredient, Butylated Hydroxyanisole, and it is considered carcinogenic (cancer causing) i dont know if this is true, but checking more sites about the chemical might help.

Compression of the median nerve causes tingling and numbness in the thumb, forefinger, middle finger and on the thumb-side of the fourth finger. It may also cause pain in the forearm and occasionally into the shoulder.

Among many other reasons, a hearniated disk will cause this. It will be a disk at the higher level of your spine. Please go to the doctor and have this taken care of, later it may become more painful

I had carpel tun syndrome and found that a brace that stopped my hands from turning ito a fist during sleep was helpful, however the only thing that worked in the end was surgery.

Not being a doctor, this answer will be from a layman's viewpoint, based on online reading of health articles. First, numbness in any extremity could be the symptoms of a very serious condition, so I strongly suggest that if you have numbness in your fingers, that you have it checked out by a doctor AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! Some of the possible causes I've read about are: 1. A blood clot blocking an artery, or 2. A mini-stroke in the brain which, I think, is technically refered to as an Intermittant Ischemic Event. Again, IF you actually have this symptom, see a doctor ASAP!!!!!j3h.

I would say on average about 3-4k..this is just his fee...not including hospital charges, assistant fees, surgery/equipment/sterilizing charges, medicine, office visits, bandages etc... I think the total average CTS surgery is about 8k.

Typing can cause repetitive stress syndrome leading to carpal tunnel problems or tennis elbow. Usually this happens if you sit at the wrong height, or type with fingers in isolation. That is the reason people should learn touch typing if they use the computer for any great length of time. Basically if you are feeling pain after typing, you should examine what you are doing wrong. If you ignore the pain for too long, you may end up needing carpal tunnel surgery.

It can, if work-related.

Not likely as carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by highly repetitive motion.

I'm not sure about the average price, but I can tell you that I've been offered $45,000 as an initial offer. I say initial since I don't plan to ever settle, and judging by their eagerness the insurance company will certainly make another offer. I'm young to have sustained such a serious injury, and I'm not about to trade in a lifetime of medical expenses for such a small amount. My current prescriptions alone over the next 35 years will cost $210,000 if the price never goes up (and it most certainly will!)
If you are reading this to see how much you can get for your disc injury, my advice is not to settle!

You were diagnosed by your EMPLOYER? (???) If you mean you were diagnosed by doctors employed by, or under contract to, your employer, you would have to produce a written, signed diagnosis to the Workmans Compensation Board examiners. After considering your case, they could award you a percentage amount commensurate with your disability.

First, stop the motion. The pain is possibly an inflammed tendon. Some suggestions: Purchase a splint that limits motion and wear it, even at night. Periodically ice the area for 10-15 minutes. Take a NSAID (ibuprofen, tylenol). If possible, stop doing the task for a few days. If that's not possible, take breaks and change the way you do the task. Long term, it is best to take care of the wrist in order to prevent permanent damage. If these things don't help, visit an orthopedic doctor.

A "tingle face" typically refers to the sensation of tingling or numbness in the facial area, which can be caused by various conditions, including anxiety, nerve compression, or neurological disorders. This symptom may also occur during migraines or as a result of an allergic reaction. If the tingling is persistent or accompanied by other symptoms like weakness, it’s important to seek medical advice to determine the underlying cause.

It can be, about 10-20% of patients will describe it as a discomfort, or electrical stinging sensation. There are two types of test you should be getting; one is a nerve conduction study and the second is an EMG. An EMG is where the provider uses very small needles that are inserted into the muscles of the arms and sends small electrical impulses to test certain nerves in the upper extremities.

No there is just about nothing too it. Had the test done on both hands and hardly remember having it done other then paying the doctor.

A complete account of symptoms, including which fingers are involved, is important because the median nerve, the nerve involved in carpal tunnel syndrome, does not innervate the little finger.

the actor had to wear a cast cuz he broke his wrist so they needed an exuse.

There are eight carpal bones in total, arranged in two rows. Naming the bones form the most lateral to medial, in order, they go Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetral, Pisiform, Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, and Hamate. The first row of bones, except for the Pisiform bone articulate with the radius at the wrist joint :)

I assume you mean Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

This is a swelling (for whatever reason) of the soft tissue around one of the nerves in your wrist (the nervus medianus to be exact). The problem is, that this nerve doesn't have much room, so it gets compressed. Nerves don't take compression very well, so you start to get a tingly sensation that you can "shake away". If it gets worse, the tingling turns to pain, and later on in reduction of muscle amount in your ulnar (the pinky side) of your palm, and even to paralysis.

Treatment usually starts with drugs (such as ibuprofen), can include local injections with corticoid, and when all fails, surgery. During this procedure, more room is created for the nerve, solving the problem. This can easely be done under regional anesthetics, and is considered minor surgery. Revalidation is short (2 weeks average).

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.
