    im 20, and last december, i got diagnosed with carpal tunnel in both my hands, before i got diagnosed with it i would always notice my hands falling asleep, than later on at night i couldn’t sleep because of the pain my hands were in, it felt like they were asleep but getting poked my nails, i had to quit my job because i couldn’t get any sleep, than i went to the hospital and the doctor were even shocked because of how young i was to have it, idk how i got it, possibly from playing football, i was in a real bad situation, i couldn’t get surgery cause of no insurance, so i had to get cast for my wrist, i only use them when i sleep. i wouldn’t wish this on anyone, god bless

    This is really helpful, thanks! I injured my wrist two years ago and it's never fully healed, and after a variety of different scans over the years, it's been suggested that I might have CTS (is hard to tell though because it's not showing up on the scans (which it should), but I did some other tests that indicate that it could be this).

Three diabetes, BP, and statin. I had had enough, dump meds in trash and started fasting every weekend. 9th week found keto. Inflammation was way down after two or three months in.

    I just started to learn how to play golf for three month to get back in shape as well as to manage my diabetes and now i think i got CTS in both my hand probably because for three month I've been hitting like 600-800 golf balls everyday at the driving range.. I also think for 12+ years working using the keyboard also making me more prone to CTS thus it got worse when i started golf as a sport.. I wish i could recover from this condition without any surgery though..

    I'm suffering from this, from past 2 months it was gone but now from 2-3 days it's again started. Tomorrow have appointment with neurologist. I seriously pray to god may nobody go through pain, like its been a half hour i was crying like hell... Put my hand in hot water with 1-2 pinch of salt, then after drying my hand, i put an ayurvedic oil for pain relief. Took 1 ultracet tablet. Now pain is okay, guys seriously the pain at night in under the thumb over the palm area and the swelling... All things are enough to feel like a hell on earth. 😥😥😪😭😭😭sometimes feel like just smashed this fucking hand. But u can't..

    8:40 - that’s how they recently figured out that I had carpal tunnel syndrome in my left hand. I’ve experienced the painful hand / wrist jerks and freezes for about 7 years now roughly and usually I thought it was due to hydration. But I work all day on a keyboard in the IT field , I jammed my wrist in my early teens as a kid , tore ligaments in my lower portion of my thumb as a child and jammed my ring finger all on the same hand through out my life so it all makes sense in my situation
