Carpel tunnel?

Has anyone had this , I have had it a few weeks now and it's horrendous,  the pain is unreal . Got those splint things on both wrists on a night time . Just wondering if anyone has it or had it.  Thanks

used to get it ray and in the end they took my scaphoid out and wired my wrist together,used to play darts for my county so played alot and probably where the problem started ,all sympthoms went but have restricted movement in the wrist now but does not stop me doing any diy or work about the house ,however now the left wrist is playing up ....compaired to others problems though its just a scratch

If it is anything  like rhumatism (spelling) you have my deepest sympathy.

I have it in both hands and hips etc; think we do not appeciate the lack
of pain we have enjoyed previously.  

Regards.

It's horrible   both hands but right is terrible... just all of a sudden suffering with lots of problems.  I suppose I am getting old haha ... arthritis  is all over my body . Knees,  feet ,  fingers ect ... not nice ...

Feel for you etc Ray hope you can somehow get it all sorted type of thing there.

Yes it is arthritus I have not rhumatism.

Hands just cramp up and have to close and open to get some relief at times.

Sometimes get same in a leg and have to stiffen it until it goes.

Would be nice to go through life without pain, would it not ?.

Regards.

Yes it would be very nice but I suppose what you do in the past , job wise or even fun I suppose doesn't help ...

Many felt they were bullet proof types in younger life I suspect somehow Ray Old age thou just proves how many of us were rather foolish back then with that type of thinking at times sadly I suspect/suggest.

Yes thats true knackered,  football didn't help me at all

Ray get to the docs and ask for Voltarol gel on prescription, it's stronger than over the counter stuff. I get this unlimited amount, go through tubes of the stuff but can't manage without it. Hands worse in this freezing weather right now. It doesn't stink like some stuff either.
I pay £10 a month direct debit to NHS prescriptions and allows me all prescriptions so get my money's worth.

Used it before for other stuff, might try that again if over the counter stuff is better ...thanks

Good advice regarding seeing the doctor, in particular if you are on
any other medication, can conflict with some.

Believe can be taken orally.

Great if you can get relief in your hands, would need a bucket full to stop the pain
in the back, legs, arms, hands ( fingers biggest worry for me).

Anything worth a try.


I take eye drops for glucomia and leveroxine for someyhing else and refused to take anything else or I would spend all my time at the pharmacy.  

Eye sight most precious and thankfully the eye drops have kept the one eye good enough to drive, for the past 6/7 years.

Optitian  says I have cataract and maybe have to have operation.

After making me blind in ane eye with bodged operation there is no chance of risking the one good eye. 

Anyway hope you find a solution.

Regards.

I won't go on about my eyes as most of you know how bad they are
