Guest guest Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Lee, insurance companies that don't want to pay for carpal tunnel surgery, tell their clients to try B6 first. What they don't tell you is that you have to take lots of B6 along with lots of ALL the B vitamins. I take a high-dose B vitamin, and about 250 mg of additional B6 every day. Sometimes my carpal tunnels hurt anyway, but I can live with it. Much better than before. Meg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 I would try acupuncture! Also add raw organic apple cider vinegar to you daily routine, 1 Tablespoon. This helps me with EVERYTHING! leefortenna <leefortenna Tue, Dec 22, 2009 8:45 am << >> Carpal tunnel help, please! I have plantar fasaciitis on the left foot and carpal tunnel in my right hand. The carpal has been going on for 2 years, getting much worse, and splints don't help anymore. A doc told me to get surgery. I don't believe in surgery - and really don't trust doctors anyway. I've searched the web for " alternative " cures, which is why I joined this group. There seem to be a few (non drug) things available for carpal tunnel. I've gotten some info on Wristrac and Carpal Therapist. Both seem promising. Does anybody use one of these? Any comment is appreciated because I have to do something soon.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 I have carpal tunnel in both wrists. I had surgery on the right several years ago, but have not done the sx in the left. It takes about a year to get full function back after surgery, but left my right hand with no pain. I know Vit B6 is essential for people who get carpal tunnel. Once you get CT there is no going back to pre CT. I don't know why so I'd also be interested in hearing what others have to say about that. The surgery was done under a local, so no general anesthesia. My left hand goes numb when doing too much with it, including knitting.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Chiropractors also treat carpal tunnel without surgery because sometimes the problem starts in the neck/shoulder area.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 I've had great success with craniosacral therapy. You can find a therapist here http://www.iahp.com/pages/search/index.php, but make sure you go to one that had more than 4 CST classes. Acupuncture helps too, but CST is even better. Good luck! - " leefortenna " <leefortenna Tuesday, December 22, 2009 5:45 AM << >> Carpal tunnel help, please! >I have plantar fasaciitis on the left foot and carpal tunnel in my right >hand.
