Hand And Wrist

I had that problem when I was a teenager. I lost strength and had alot of numbness in my left hand. No pain though (except the numbness that hurts). I couldn't even hold on to a glass of milk. Drs. Found nothing at the time. I had problems like that for as long as I can remember. 20 years later, I have broken both hands (one 2x's), had 3 wrist surgeries, and i'm getting ready for the 4th. Mostly (i believe) from these "cysts" they keep scraping out. It is hereditary and I was extremely hard on my hands/wrists (was a hockey player and carpenter). My last surgery took care of my career- desk jockey now. I would talk to an ortho. About the possibility of cysts in the carpal region. May not be, but certainly can't hurt to look. Best of luck!

Hey there.
I had truly terrible carpal tunnel syndrome. I'm a writer and a pianist, and when my wrists went, I really suffered. I went through a lot of physical therapy, nsaids, the whole kit and caboodle of "regular" treatment. Then I found astym. It was recommended by a physical therapist who had recently been trained in the treatment system. Astym cured my carpal tunnel. I feel like some sort of true believer here, because it was the one thing that got rid of my cts.

In a nutshell, astym is augmented soft-tissue manipulation, provided by a pt. Included in the therapy are designed-just-for-you specific stretches and strengthening exercises. It took about 12 treatments to just about completely resolve my arm pain, how crazy is that?? Oh, and the best part was that my health insurance covered it, once I got my doc to write me a prescription for the treatment. (she had never heard of it, but had it done to both of her elbows for tennis elbow and now is another true believer! Lol!)

anyway, go to astym.Com and find a provider near you. Astym works.
