I do my best to be as kind to my hands as possible..I sleep a certain way so that when I wake up my hands are not swollen and numb..even so it takes awhile for them to warm up so to speak..I make all the bread at the restaurant I currently work for..now it takes me a little longer to roll out all the dough...ah life!

I do not have carpal tunnel by my husband, a classical guitarist, does. We have read in a few musician magazines as well as a paper published by the AMA that B6 can help. My husband takes 50 miligrams 3x a day. It might take up to 4 months to see a difference but much better than surgery. (My Mom did have the surgery but it didn't help her at all!)

[quote=katbalou;190564]i found that doing wrist curls with a 3# weight seemed to help. (not the kind invovled in doing a 12 0z.) thankfully i no longer cook for a living and it has not bothered me in years!!!



I was seeing an orthopedist about something else a few years back and asked him about some pain I was starting to get in my hands and wrists. He recommended the wrist curls, said even when you have a few minutes break, pick up a broom and use the handle for curls.
Sounds like yours has advanced further, but might not hurt to ask the doctor or therapists?

Take care and good luck,
