Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Ringworm

[Guest guest]

I wondered whether I would use the same protocol for

carpel tunnel as I would for general numbness, of if

there's something more specific?

Additionally, my sister has ringworm on her arm, which

seems to

have spread to her leg. Is there anything I can do

that might be a little more aggressive?

Thanks for your information, and making it available.

Dear Nickie,

 

Namaste.

 

A. Medical Background: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

 

Some people might think that carpal tunnel syndrome is

a new condition of the information technology age,

born from long hours of computer keyboarding. But

carpal tunnel syndrome is nothing new. Evidence of

people experiencing symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome

occurs in medical records dating back to the beginning

of the 20th century.

 

Bounded by bones and ligaments, the carpal tunnel is a

narrow passageway — about as big around as your thumb

— located on the palm side of your wrist. This tunnel

protects a main nerve to your hand and nine tendons

that bend your fingers. Pressure placed on the nerve

produces the numbness, pain and, eventually, hand

weakness that characterize carpal tunnel syndrome.

 

Fortunately, for most people who develop carpal tunnel

syndrome, proper treatment usually can relieve the

pain and numbness and restore normal use of the wrists

and hands.

 

The cause of carpal tunnel syndrome is pressure on the

median nerve. The median nerve is a mixed nerve,

meaning it has a sensory function and also provides

nerve signals to move your muscles (motor function).

The median nerve provides sensation to your thumb,

index finger, middle finger and the middle-finger side

of the ring finger. Pressure on the nerve can stem

from anything that reduces the space for it in the

carpal tunnel. Causes might include anything from bone

spurs to the most common cause, which is swelling or

thickening of the lining and lubricating layer

(synovium) of the tendons in your carpal tunnel.

 

The exact cause of the swelling usually isn't known,

but a variety of conditions and factors can play a

role:

 

Other health conditions.

Some examples include rheumatoid arthritis, certain

hormonal disorders — such as diabetes, thyroid

disorders and menopause — fluid retention due to

pregnancy, or deposits of amyloid, an abnormal protein

produced by cells in your bone marrow.

 

Repetitive use or injury. Repetitive flexing and

extending of the tendons in the hands and wrists,

particularly when done forcefully and for prolonged

periods without rest, also can increase pressure

within the carpal tunnel. Injury to your wrist can

cause swelling that exerts pressure on the median

nerve.

 

Physical characteristics. It may be that your carpal

tunnel is more narrow than average. Other less common

causes include a generalized nerve problem or pressure

on the median nerve at more than one location.

 

Some studies suggest that carpal tunnel syndrome can

result from overuse or strain in certain job tasks

that require a combination of repetitive, forceful and

awkward or stressed motions of your hands and wrists.

Examples of these include using power tools — such as

chippers, grinders, chain saws or jackhammers — and

heavy assembly line work, such as occurs in a

meatpacking plant. Although repetitive computer use is

commonly assumed to cause carpal tunnel syndrome, the

scientific evidence for this association is weak.

 

Although it's not clear which activities can cause

carpal tunnel syndrome, if your work or hobbies are

hand-intensive — involving a combination of awkward,

repetitive wrist or finger motions, forceful pinching

or gripping and working with vibrating tools — you may

be at higher risk of developing the condition.

 

Other risk factors include:

 

Sex - Women are three times as likely as men are to

develop carpal tunnel syndrome. The incidence in women

peaks after menopause, and the risk of carpal tunnel

syndrome also increases in men during middle-age.

 

Certain health conditions - Conditions including some

thyroid problems, diabetes, obesity and rheumatoid

arthritis can increase your risk. Women who are

pregnant, taking oral contraceptives or going through

menopause also are at increased risk, most likely due

to hormonal changes. Fluid retention may be a cause of

carpal tunnel syndrome during pregnancy. Fortunately,

carpal tunnel syndrome related to pregnancy almost

always improves after childbirth. People who smoke

cigarettes may experience worse symptoms and slower

recovery from carpal tunnel syndrome than nonsmokers

do.

Pranic Healing:

 

1. Invoke and scan before, during and after

treatment.

 

2. If ther are any other medical conditions ( i. e.

rheumatoid arthritis, certain hormonal disorders —

such as diabetes, thyroid disorders and menopause —

fluid retention due to pregnancy, or deposits of

amyloid, an abnormal protein produced by cells in your

bone marrow.), apply pranic healing treatment for the

condition.

 

3. Localized thorough sweeping on the affected wrist,

arm, elbow minor chakra and hand minor chakra

alternately with LWG and ordinary LWV. Energize the

wrist with LWB for localizing effect.

 

Energize the wrist, arm and the minor chakras with

LWG-V then LWG-Y, visualize the energy going into the

nerves of the wrist.

 

4. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back

solar plexus chakra. Energize with LWG then with more

of ordinary LWV.

 

5. Localized thorough sweeping on the basic and navel

chakras. Emergize them with LWR.

 

6. Stabilize and release projected energy.

 

7. Repeat treatment 3 times per week.

 

8. Instruct the patient to rest the affected hand and

wrist for at least 2 weeks, avoid activities that may

worsen symptoms, and immobilize the wrist in a splint

to avoid further damage from twisting or bending.

 

B. Medical Background: Ringworm - on arm and leg

 

Ringworm is a skin infection caused by a fungus.

Ringworm can affect skin on your body (tinea

corporis), scalp (tinea capitis), groin area (tinea

cruris, also called jock itch), or feet (tinea pedis,

also called athlete's foot). Often, there are several

patches of ringworm on your skin at once.

 

Ringworm is a common skin disorder, especially among

children, but it may affect people of all ages.

Although its name suggests otherwise, it is caused by

a fungus, not a worm.

 

Many bacteria and fungi live on your body. Some of

these are useful to you and your body. Others can

multiply rapidly and form infections. Ringworm occurs

when a particular type of fungus grows and multiplies

anywhere on your skin, scalp, or nails.

 

Ringworm is contagious. It can be passed from one

person to the next by direct skin-to-skin contact or

by contact with contaminated items such as combs,

unwashed clothing, and shower or pool surfaces. You

can also catch ringworm from pets that carry the

fungus. Cats are common carriers.

 

The fungi that cause ringworm thrive in warm, moist

areas. Ringworm is more likely when you have frequent

wetness (such as from sweating) and minor injuries to

your skin, scalp, or nails.

 

The symptoms of ringworm include:

 

-Itchy, red, raised, scaly patches that may blister

and ooze. The patches often have sharply-defined

edges. They are often redder around the outside with

normal skin tone in the center. This may create the

appearance of a ring. Your skin may also appear

unusually dark or light

..

-When your scalp or beard is infected, you will have

bald patches.

-If nails are infected, they become discolored, thick,

and even crumble.

 

-Keep your skin clean and dry.

-Apply over-the-counter antifungal or drying powders,

lotions, or creams. Those that contain miconazole,

clotrimazole, or similar ingredients are often

effective.

-Wash sheets and nightclothes every day while

infected.

 

A severe or persistent infection may require treatment

by a doctor. Antifungal pills may be given and are

necessary if your hair is infected. Prescription

antifungal skin medications, such as ketoconazole, are

stronger than over-the-counter products and may be

needed. Antibiotics may also be needed to treat

related bacterial infections.

 

Infected pets also should be treated.

 

Skin medication is usually successful at treating

Ringworm within 4 weeks. If your ringworm infection is

severe or resistant (meaning that it does not respond

well to self-care), it will usually respond quickly to

antifungal pills.
