Hello ATS I don't know if anyone on here is qualified or is at least knowledgeable enough to know this,just thought I would ask nonetheless.

About a year ago I got Handcuff neuropathy and as it slowly started to heal over the course of about 4-6 months,I found both my wrists exhibiting Carpal Tunnel like symptoms when occasionally performing such tasks as typing on a computer,driving,or anything else that requires extended use of my wrists/fingers .I am wondering if it is possible at all if perhaps this is resulting from the damaged radial nerve in both my wrists.
I deduce it is,but I haven't seen a doctor yet.I got no medical and am not too keen on seeing a neurologist.

thanks..

I have carpal tunnel on and off, usually gets worse in winter. My doctor said it was because there is pressure applied to the median nerve when I do certain tasks, making a fist seems to be what triggers it the quickest for me or holding steering wheel or a small glass.

Maybe the radial nerve area is swollen and affecting other nerves?

Either way most people get relief from wearing a splint, I'm not sure if thats the correct term in english, like a firm glove to stop you moving your wrist too much and I saw a physiotherapist who showed me some good exercises for the nerves. If it gets worse there is also a small operation to get rid of carpal tunnel syndrome, there is a slight risk of permanent nerve damage with that operation though.

This is basically everything I learnt from going to the doctor but I'm in no way qualified as you can probably tell. As far as I know carpal tunnel isn't THAT big a deal to most people, just very irritating

Good luck and I hope you get rid of it
