If I don't stop playing this game so much, I'm afraid I could get this!

Good to read all that since I broke my wrist in August, I've had carpel tunnel and finally having surgery on the 17th of December. The surgeon doesn't explain it as well as here. Thanks!

I suffer terribly from this, and whilst the carpal tunnel is in the wrist, the effects are felt in the hands. I get terrible numbness in my index and second fingers, and often wake up in the night with pain. I also have other injuries causing pain, so not sure really what wakes me up, but I know I feel intense pain during the night.

Had both my wrists done at the same time was able to help myself by day 3. I had an excellent orthopedic surgeon.

BeagleMum, If there is any way possible to have the surgery, get it done. The recovery for each hand is 6 weeks but so entirely worth it. I had both wrists done 7 years ago and not one problem since.

I knew several people who had carpal tunnel and though it was from using their wrists too much.

I wonder why night-time is often a factor in many medical cases. There must be changes in our physiology at such times.

Thought it is worth mentioning that for some amazing reason it is also a condition brought on by pregnancy, ie change in hormone levels. I had to use a wrist splint while pregnant and as soon as my daughter was born the pain started to subside and then it vanished completely a few days later.

I put off having surgery on both wrists for over 20 years. Almost everyone that I spoke to said that it didn't help. My surgeries six years ago were very successful. So happy to be rid of the numbness and pain.

Debbie, I had keyhole surgery done on both wrists in 2007. I was able to look after myself by the following day. One week later I was back at work. Don't be scared. Get it done.

I have carpal tunnel syndrome on both wrists plus I have arthritis on both hands so there are days where both my wrists & hands hurt so bad

There is also surgery that can help but not always as I had my right hand done but not my left as it did not work for me

I had CTS & was scheduled for surgery. Then I went to a chiropractor who massaged near the base of the thumb & the shoulder/neck area. Lo & behold, I no longer needed the surgery! Now, if I feel it starting up again, I massage those spots & it eases the problem 😄

TJ SISTER, it can be, but also often affects the hands. I couldn't hold a pen or coffee cup & got shooting pains right up to my elbow! Brutal!

I remember getting CTS when I was pregnant, they said it was because I wasn't getting enough fluids. wild.
