I feel your pain, as I've had it loads of times and do have carpal tunnel, too.<BR/><BR/>Get thyself a brace for your hand and wrist. You can get them at the drugstore. Brace your wrist during the day and leave it off at night. Keep applying ice (15 mins on, max) at regular intervals throughtuot the day, and take Ibuprofen for pain and swelling.<BR/><BR/>You can also try massage and acupuncture. Works wonders!<BR/><BR/>PS: Jeepers!

So I went to the doctor and she said it is NOT carpal tunnel -- it's basically tendonitis (sp?). The tendons are irritated and inflamed and that's what is causing the pain. If you have carpal tunnel the main sensation would be numbness due to the lack of circulation. She gave me some anti-inflammatory pills - and I just took a half a pill for about two weeks and it did the trick. Now I just have to make sure I don't stay on the computer for too long -- I mix up my work to make sure I'm not doing the same task continually for a long time. <BR/>Wishing you well!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29484647.post-76489393008060497252009-01-18T18:41:00.000-06:002009-01-18T18:41:00.000-06:00one more comment, I had what sounded like the same...one more comment, I had what sounded like the same thing but was told I had tendonitis, I went through lots of different therapy and wrist brace and the thing that helped me was a cortisone shot about 3 1/2 months ago and the pain was gone almost imediatly even canceled the second shot that was scheduled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29484647.post-75271074954196030362009-01-17T18:55:00.000-06:002009-01-17T18:55:00.000-06:00Hi Patty, I'm sending you warm wishes from sun...Hi Patty, I'm sending you warm wishes from sunny Florida ;)<BR/>First, Thank You for showing off my Mommy & Me apron set.

I am so sorry so many of you have experienced it too. It is definitely a debilitating condition. I have read everything about icing the area, so all of you are correct about that. However, when I ice it, it seems to hurt more and my hands feel totally numb but when I apply heat, it alleviates the pain and I can work. Hmmm... this leads me to believe that it may not be carpal tunnel after all... it could be like an early onset of arthritis (it DOES run in my family) or maybe just a pinched nerve/tendon? I don't know. I will definitely try to see a doc next week.<BR/><BR/>Also, thanks to all of you who suggested seeing a chiropractor. My sister and brother-in-law are both chiropractors but unfortunately they live in FL so I can't seek their help right now. If the pain persists, I'll probably see a local chiro here.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again to all who commented! :)<BR/><BR/>patty Patty Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15336307959882844913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29484647.post-89137410878685407182009-01-17T12:29:00.000-06:002009-01-17T12:29:00.000-06:00I feel for you, Patty!

I saw a doctor and had surgery, meds,etc and can't say that was the best decision. I like the idea of seeing a chiropractor. I think that makes good sense. Kids and cold weather... I SO feel your pain. Mine have been home since Wednesday last week and are out Monday and Tuesaday for the holiday and inservice. It's like Christmas vacation all over again! And yesterday, windchill had us at -27'. I paid them to do housework. Kept busy all day and then I let them shop online at American girl and make wish lists!

I have numbness that starts in my fingers & goes up to almost my elbow, not as much pain as just annoying numbness & tingling, grrrr! It happens almost every single morning (as I type, type away every single day!), & it doesn't go away until noonish?! I haven't seen a doc either, but am assuming that it is carpal tunnel. I sure hope your hand feels better soon sweetie! At least you have all of those gorgeous Andalucia listings to browse through while in your pj's! We are getting down to 12 degrees here in "Hotlanta" tonight, we haven't been this cold in 5 years...brrrr!
