carpal tunnel syndrome - cts

I have to tell this AMAZING thing that just happened to me! After more than a year, my claw-like, locked up hands just OPENED! I can freely wiggle my fingers. I can also open my hands flat for the first time in over a year. And I can open and close my hands, which I couldn’t do very well -or at...

Hi all, Hope you are well! It has been a while! As a quick summary, around 6 years ago I developed Carpal Tunnel/RSI in my right wrist from playing far too many PC games with admittedly shocking ergonomics. I went to the doctor after pushing through the pain (at this point it burnt quite...

Hi everyone! It feels great to have found a forum where other individuals also have chronic pain (or have hopefully gotten rid of it). Let's start my pain journey from the beginning. I was around 11 years old when I started to notice tightness in my neck, shoulder, and upper back (mostly on the...

Hi all, I am a student taking part in a non-paid research project with the goal of creating an easy-to-use online experience for a specialist hand and wrist clinic. I was looking for people who have had a condition, injury, or trauma on their hand or wrist. If you could share your experiences...

Hello all. I hope all is well. Today, I want to share my “success story” per the title of his post. Ironically, I’ve been healed now for about the same length of time that I was chronically ill. I resisted publishing my testimony sooner, even though I was a semi-active member on this forum for...

Hi, I’ve been hearing from a lot of people that intense exercise is key to recovery because it reduces stress and sends strong signals to the brain that nothing is wrong or broken in the body. However, I’ve also heard from some people that it took them way back in the process. People say it’s...

Many of you know me; I’ve been here for years now, off and on. For those that don’t, I’ve been recovering from TMS for about 6 years now, from fibro, myofascial pain syndrome, carpal tunnel, TOS, IBS, back, shoulder, and hip pain, and more. Some days, I do awesome and others not so much. This...

After 20 plus years of TMS and over five years of doing the work and not giving up, but giving in, I can finally say I am CURED! From nerve and muscle pain, IBS, balance issues, rib spasms, “carpal tunnel and other weird shoulder crap to pelvic and back pain and more, I have kicked TMS to the...

I've been dealing with an RSI since around June 2017. I've been diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel and Tendinitis RSI. Here are my current symptoms: Tingling fingertips (1st three fingers - thumb to half of ring finger). Both hands. I get straight up tingling on the fingertips sometimes but usually...

Been going through RSI for a year. One doc diagnosed as carpal tunnel... Other doc says possibility it isn't. Been doing PT, rolfing, stretches, acupuncture, self trigger point massage and I'm a little better but still having symptoms. It's a roller coaster. I think I'm getting better but then...

I understand that this is all debate able, but I am trying to interpret Sarno's theories appropriately. I haven't been able to figure out if CTS is (in Sarno's mind) solely a manifestation of mind body disorder, or a physiologically based disorder that can be imitated by TMS. I believe the...

On a day in October 2015, I was playing the piano and suddenly felt a snap in my right wrist. I have played this instrument since my early teens and never had any issues. From that day on I had pain whenever I typed on a PC, used a mouse, played the piano, used the toothbrush, ate food using...

Hello, I have had mild carpal tunnel symptoms in my hands on and off for a few years, which lately has got worse. I wondered if you know of anyone who has had carpal tunnel syndrome diagnosed by nerve conduction study who has got better through the TMS route? Thank you, Z

Hi all, This is my first post. I've been lingering and reading for the past week, you all seem to be a supportive and kind group so I feel safe that you'll understand my situation and frustrations. Just a brief introduction first. I am 39 yrs old, have had chronic neck and shoulder pain since...
