I have carpal tunnel. I’ve had it since mid October 2023. It seemed more complicated, it was worse, comorbid with something else last year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It literally just started up intensely, suddenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over Christmas into January it was bad, then in February I had some mild virus, and one day or so in, all symptoms suddenly vanished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After three weeks my left hand started some symptoms, then worse and worse, then much later my right hand started some symptoms and it grew worse over both hands so much so that we went to a medical facility (no insurance) and ended up with really bad instruction to take Aleve twice a day for inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That was the end of March 2024. End of April I had become so miserable, worse in every way possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh, hello Mr. Evil Aleve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I stopped that and got back my mornings, no more OMG how long until that fluid feeling in every inch of me would ease up even 1\/4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Basically it took several days, but then thing weren’t as bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had found this thing called carpalrx and ended up buying that, which arrived May 20th finally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mostly my right hand is now usable throughout the day, stirring something, typing, on keyboard and phone. Right before I started this therapy my Index finger on the right seemed much more friendly most of the time, and so improvement was starting all on my own. With carpalrx morning and night for over a week now, I often do not have tingly fingers all night with either hand, not at all on right 80% of the time at the least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As it goes, I have a long row to hoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s just much better now. Hurray. Even my left hand isn’t just so horrible night or day either, yes, tingly and some other things, but not as intense now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
