Just an example, not singling out the person who wrote this:
where my experience varies is that the cause area for my CP is just below
the elbows on the inside. massage area gently until you find the tender
area, then take thumb and apply stedy but firm pressure to area for about
a minute or so then release preasure gradually. repeat several times a
Umm, at the risk of practising medicine without a license, this
sounds more like tendinitis than carpal tunnel syndrome. The cures
are not the same! My tendinitis finally went away when I rested my
arm for long enough, which is what the sports doc said would happen.
So please don't assume that what you have is carpal tunnel syndrome
unless you have a medical diagnosis from the appropriate specialist.
(When I first had the problems with my arm, a nurse practitioner had
the right diagnosis but gave me the wrong kind of brace -- the one
for wrist problems instead of the one for tennis elbow (a.k.a.
tradesmans' elbow). And guess what. The wrong brace didn't help
and the right one did.) So just a reminder to be sure of what the
problem is before applying a treatment...
