Red, I got this some years ago. Suggested cause was either too much winking or riding bikes. As I never wink with my left hand I reasoned it must be the bike. There IS NO medication that will cure it. The cause is the nerves being pinched as they run through the carpals in your wrist. The tendons etc swell up and pinch the nerves. ONLY way to relieve it is to have the op to open out the carpal tunnel. I had it done about 8 years ago and since then have never suffered again. It's painful post-op, but it does work. Only pronlem is if you elect to have both wtists done at the same time, as I did, it's a bugger to wipe your arris....... Just thought I would share that with you............ |
