ClaireG Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Anyone have/had this? I've been to the nurse and Dr today and they are both almost certain that i have carpal tunnel. I have to go for bloods tomorrow to rule out other stuff. If the bloods come back normal i'll have a nerve conductivity test and then probably a small op. My main problem is the pain. Does anyone have any tips for this. All Dr advised was to try and sleep with my arm hanging over the bed as sleep has been pretty much non existent and to take a painkiller an hour before bed. Also to try and avoid heavy lifting or doing much with my left arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 DD was diagnosed with this earlier in the year, but hers is not as bad as yours, it was suggested an op but she is waiting at the moment to see how it goes. Best wishes. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
