carpals are the tiny bones in your wrist (where it bends).  When you overuse your hands a nerve that runs through the carpal tunnel gets inflammed and begins to rub against the inside of the bones.  It can usually be fixed by surgery.  I know a bus driver who's had two operations for it.  Try to work in rest breaks for your hands.  If you don't want to have the surgery, you might try using ice packs and peppermint oil to reduce the inflammation.  A wrist brace might also help.  This is common to anyone who uses their hands a LOT - like guitarists, bus drivers, typists etc...  I hope this helps.

I have...and so has others I've talked to.  Could be you have the beginning of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.  There are things you can do, like slow down on the computer, use different keyboard, something to elevate your wrists.  If it gets bad you might want to  see a dr.

Sounds like your nerve is pinced, but you would know if you had carpel tunnel , it is bloody painful. See your doctor as sometimes the blood vessels shrink and can cause major problems.

No excercise! Al that is going to do is make it worse. The best things to do is take anti-inflammitories, (naproxen sodium, Aleve), ice it up and rest it. A sling would work well. All tennis elbow is inflamed nerve endings by irritated tissue, so, the more you use it, the worse it will get.

Nerve damage! if your nerves got severed and were reattached, you need to keep doing the Physical therapy you did at the sessions. It has to be a constant thing.If it is painful, remember that whilst the nerves are still healing , it will hurt. If this was a recent accident please DO NOT rest your hand for extensive periods of time thinking that your hand will heal and be better, it is the complete opposite and your hand will become immobile for sure from not moving.Compare it to an ungreased bycicle chain, you hear it creaking,squeaking because it wasn't greased and it doesn't want to go anywhere.That is why you want to keep your fingers and hand moving as much as you can. Get a remote and do finger pressing excersising, from the top button all the way down. Do this every half hour while you are awake. Are you wearing a hand brace? Something that keeps your hand tight, it's an elastic thing.Try not to wear it too much.\nOpen and close your fist as much as you can, same as the finger excersices. If you have no open wounds on your hands, try using a few drops of pepermint oil with a base of avocado oil (Bath and body works) and rub it on your hands, it should really help with your numbness as the pepermint oil gets your nerves reacting, and it penetrates.\nIf you can't move the fingers willingly, move each finger up and down and flex them with the help of your other hand and fingers. Don't let the hand get lazy.Keep it moving.Nerves will regenerate and they will pick up where they left off if you keep them busy and functioning. Keep the idea of the ungreased bycicle chain in your head and move your hand and use it so it doesn't stop working.Don't become unmotivated or lazy. Do things as normal. Even if your hand is in pain, do things, it's because your nerves are trying to repair themselves that they hurt and it feels like shooting pain.So the more you move, the better it will be. I cannot say that enough.

Well unless your wearing a pimp suit from http://www.pimphats.com or your a real pimp, I wouldn't suggest exercising your pimp hand as you are too weak to actually use it properly and might pull some finger muscle and get a cramp.\n\nBut if you are a real pimp then keep your pimp hand strong by pimp slapping dem hoes!

A simple exercise you can do at home for no cost is to stand up and hold a wooden chair by the legs in your hands.  Holding your arms forward, bent at the elbow, raise and lower the chair without moving your arms, only your wrists.  Raist the chair until it touches your forehead and then lower it almost until the top of the chair touches the floor and repeat over and over and over.  I've played baseball and tennis all my life and this simple exercise helped me develop an iron-like grip and solid as steel forearms.  You will increase the amount of reps you can do each day, but before you will be able to do nearly 100.  Every day at this and you will start to see an IMMEDIATE difference.

It depends on what is causing the carpal tunnel syndrome.  If it is caused by general inflammation in the body, try a natural anti-inflammatory such as bromelain, papain, tumeric or curcumin.  That will reduce the inflammation and the pressure in the carpal tunnel.  Any of the B vitamins help improve nerve conduction, however, if there is the compression, the nerve will remain irritated.\n\nSome non-herbal alternative medicines you could look into are chiropractic, acupuncture and massage.  Chiropractic will help if you have any misplaced carpal bones.  These bones can shift slightly causing pressure on the nerves that run through the carpapl tunnel.  Acupuncture works wonderfully on this condition as well as other hand conditions such as arthritis.  Massage can help relase the tension in the tunnel and possibly break up any adhesions that have formed causing pressure in the area.  \n\nJust remember that none of these things are an instant cure.  They will take some time and patience. But you should be able to avoid surgery.
