Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Or Something Else?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

The palm of my left hand has been burning when I move my thumb or stretch my hand. I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome in 2005. I got on disability and just stopped typing so I never pursued treatment. Its really flared up over the recent 2 months while recuperating from knee replacement. I didn't injure or over use my hand so why is it so painful? Has anyone had experience with this?

Arthritic pain is caused by crystals forming in joints. Cider vinegar sweetened with honey and drunk every day will break down the crystals that cause the pain.

Your just like everyone else here. Your kidneys are not filtering and toxins and acids have backed up in the body and acid deteriorates things such as your joints. Watch Dr Morse videos on joint pain. This guy will tell you what you need to do. He's a naturopath that's got it all figured out. He in his late 70s and looks super healthy and robust and makes so much sense.good luck to you.

I had Carpal Tunnel surgery in 1997.
Best and one of the easiest surgeries I've been through. Left hand like yours. You're right, you cannot type if you have it. Fortunately, I was no longer a Secretary at the time. I don't think there are secretaries anymore!

I've also had surgery for a Trigger Thumb.

Interestingly, my first Neurosurgeon developed Carpal Tunnel. He went into Pain Management as he could no longer perform such delicate surgeries. So I went to him for that. Was completely shocked when he put me on Methadone. That was years ago.

Find a good hand surgeon. Good Luck.

I just saw a video posted on FB and the number 5 cause of arthritis pain was gluten, mainly bagel, which I eat for protein every morning for breakfast...so Iā€™m not helping myself get out of my nighttime pain when I awake...
