My severe carpal tunnel was caused by a thyroid autoimmune disease called Hashimoto's Disease. I saw a Naturopath doctor who told me it was inflammation squeezing my nerves and that it would be gone in 2 months. He changed my diet and determined my food sensitives and reduced my inflammation. My carpal tunnel was gone in 2 months. I am also in remission with Hashimoto's disease which took 3 years. I've been in remission for 8 years. The carpal tunnel has never come back.
Elbows below the wrists when you type puts no pressure on your forearms down to your fingers.
Type with your elbows above your wrists and you are in flexion the entire time you are writing. The longer the period of flexion the greater the stress on everything from elbow to fingertips. Eventually the overflexion will cause inflammation from constant tension. Remove the tension and the inflammation and pain will subside.
There could be another cause of this problem...an allergenic food. i have solved many health issues by checking the foods I was eating. Many 'good' foods can cause pain and problems.
My father was a very talented orthopedic hand surgeon and performed countless surgeries to alleviate carpal tunnel syndrome.
I once asked him what caused it? Was it repetitive stress? He said no. Then what? He replied that it simply was a very common condition. I'd love to talk with him about this article. Unfortunately, he is gone.
Thank you! Wrist pain stopped my marketing career since I didn't have money for surgery. I have both Caster oil and DMSO already in my skin health mix (along with a splash of black seed oil) for clearing up psoriasis skin patches.
I'll happily follow your instructions to treat the source. After 10 years of computer disability, only able to do very part-time computer work, this could be a game-changer for me.
The generalisation of 'carpal tunnel syndrome' (CTS) subsumes a compromised morphological space that once furnished adequate freedom of movement of and between its contents (9 tendons the median n. across its length.
The 9 tendons (Flx digitorum P x4 and S x4, Flx pollicis lg. x1) are ALL instrumental in gripping. FCU and FCR are adjacent. Coupled extension of the wrist while gripping substantially escalates the tendon loads and carpal tunnel pressures. Ergonomics thus appears a critical element in CTS aetiology, with or without concomitant epi, peri, or endoneurial changes associated with other systemic conditions (pregnancy, thyroiditis, lymphatic stasis, vascular malformation, etc).
Repetitive, constrained, sustained forceful tensile loading of these tensile structures ultimately segues to failure. Initial boundary conditions (morphology) determines predisposition, risk of and evolution into the changes of all elements of the regional somatic framework, leading to symptoms.
MR studies explore the several morphological dimensions implicated with CTS including compression and thinning of the nerve, and/or neural enlargement. Sites of specific comparative evaluation across the length of the carpal tunnel point to a variety of potential implications, eg. https://musculoskeletalkey.com/imaging-of-the-carpal-tunnel-and-median-nerve/
As with all conditions presented as generalisation, the devil invariably resides in the detail of the terrain of their individual and unique expression.
I certainly wouldn't mix the two for the first 2-3 weeks after injection (same reason they also tell you not to go for a run or get a massage for that time period). Look up pictures of what happens when the botox migrates... it's anything but pretty

Excellent testimonial Denise! There'll be a day, it's coming, when Naturopath doctors will become mainstream. Again.

Did I miss or skip how much to mix DMSO and castor oil? How is it applied and for how long?
Is the castor oil/DMSO applied topically or taken internally?
I would say, topically, you cant ingest most castor oils today, plus Id use organic cold pressed castor.
Thank you.

I got this book years ago, and it was helpful – no issues since:
"It's Not Carpal Tunnel Syndrome!: RSI Theory and Therapy for Computer Professionals"
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0965510999?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1
And yes to DMSO – check out Midwestern Doc's "Forgotten Side of Medicine" Substack too.

I read if you use Botox the DMSO will take it away from where it was injected, is this true?
