a special thank you to the many friends that wished me well for my surgery
today... it went well, was very easy, and i am typing into the computer with
all of my fingers working. the surgery has become very sophisticated, and
state of the art. i feel that they know what they are doing. but, like a
good clay or glaze idea...research, research and then find the right
combination for you. now on to fixing my thumbs...new, very nice
reconstruction....and then i am going to bleach my teeth, get new shoes, buy
a new tie, and dance my butt off at NCECA. i may become bionic. and if
anyone out there has found a healer near the quality of mine...then you are
blessed. what the world needs is more people interested in healing...and far
less interested in hurting. take care..and all the love i have to you
wonderful people that have been with me today. thank you. mel in minnesota.

i will repeat what i have said in the past. if your carpel is severe, and
you cannot sleep because of nocturnal numbing...get a good surgeon, talk to
that surgeon, and have it done.......release it. you can dink around for 5
years and it will not get better. i had it done two months ago, threw
pots 10 days after the surgery..and have no evidence today that i had the
surgery....none... not even a scar, but my life line is 12 years longer. it
was painless, easy, and is fixed.
on the other hand (pun) the thumbs on both hands hurt like hell some
days...and my surgeon is thinking of re-doing those too......but will wait
until they get real bad...........of course i went to a hand surgeon...don't
just go to anybody....and i pimped him about what a great aritist i am and
need my hands...stravinsky of pots etc. (smile) and of course gave him a
nice pot when the surgery was done.
now i realize that living in minneapolis and having some of the best doctors
in world just down the street is a great comfort. and i do not wish to
speak for others that do not have that advantage. but in my case i did not
worry a bit about the surgery, it has become one of the easiest proceedures
in medicine. all symptoms of carpel are gone.......gone. Mel,
minneapolis, minnesota. u.s.a.

i have had the surgery...it was great. threw pots in 10 days.
i went to a hand surgeon, no problems.
all is gone away.
you can take all the vitamins you want, but if that carpel is tiny and won't
flex you are screwed.
go to a good hand surgeon, it makes a difference.

I completely agree with Mel; had exactly the same experience. I fooled
myself for a time thinking that the various TLC things were working, but in
the end I had the surgery and it was effective and not traumatic to undergo
-- outpatient, fast recovery, etc.

i have a good deal of information
on carpel tunnel as it runs in our
family.
i have a wonderful ortho doc that is
a hand specialist. old guy...has done
thousands of carpel repairs.
i have sat with him and have gotten a few facts straight.
the carpel sheath size that surrounds the ligaments
that control your hand movement can often
be genetic. some folks just have a very small
carpel sheath.
the first step in curing this issue is to go to
a neurologist. have those nerves ligaments etc tested.
neurologist first.
then you get the facts.
you may have a severe case of damaged nerves
or ligaments that are damaged or swollen.
that is cured by rest and vitamins etc.
warm and cold soaking is helpful.
wrist support can help a great deal.
in most cases a neurologist will
suggest you see an orthopedic surgeon
and get that sheath cut open.
it is ten minute surgery. and in most cases i would
suggest you get a hand specialist. they perform
thousands of those procedures.
i was back on the wheel two weeks after the surger.
my doc said...`if it hurts, don't do it`. it was never a six
month lay off. once the sheath is cut, and the inch and a half
wound heals..back to work. i suffered nothing...
i have had the surgery, my daughter has had it and my late
son. we have small sheaths. snip, they are made larger and
the issue in most cases is resolved.
we have never had the problem again.
there are several tests...first it is called `nocturnal numbing`.
we used to call it `hey mom, my hand fell asleep`...or, do i
have polio?`
i would have to get up several times each night and shake out
my arm and hand. same for my daughter.
if i make hundreds of pots in a row, i sure can have sore arms
and hands...tendonitis....repeat action suffering.
it is not carpel tunnel syndrome.
often folks catch all those problems into one word...`carpel`.
not so. there are many causes of hand and arm pain.
get the facts, take proper action and know what you are talking
about.
as many of you have read...most of the synthetic vitamins do
more harm than help. or as one doc said on tv. `americans have
the most expensive urine on the planet.`
you don't cure a severe heart issue with gab. i would be dead right now
if i had treated my heart condition with vitamins. i had surgery and
got things fixed. now it is perfect. multiple ablation repair.
my pal at the pool last monday fainted at my feet in the locker room.
911...off to the hospital. they inserted one stent in one coronary artery
and home he went the next morning. he is fine as can be. years back
he would be dead.
so, get the right information, not rumors.
seek professional help, and take quality advice.
