For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16 from the Bible 💕
Love you guys....very informative. I would like to add...don't get discouraged if you don't get significant relief right away. You MUST be consistent in doing the stretches every day for up to several weeks/months before total relief. Also make sure you sleep correctly (on your side) with a pillow between your knees and neck supported and in alignment with your back. It took me several months and I am proud to say I am healed without surgery....totally off meds. I am continuing my stretches and to make sure I stay well, I have built up my core muscles to help support my healing as well as worked on my posture (it's not perfect, but I'm getting there). I had forward head posture, arthritis, and thoracic nerve syndrome....all fixed. My doctor who suggested surgery which involved removing thumb bones is very impressed with my healing! I'm over the moon to dodge surgery and thankful for all your help. Hoping this encourages your readers to keep at it. Stretching, good posture, healthy eating healthy, drinking plenty of water....and staying positive are key to good health! Oh...and watching you guys 😜
If you want help getting rid of carpal tunnel then go here now: CarpalTunnel.club I have numbness and pain in my right hand and all the other symptoms. My doctor suggested me to go for a blood test to know my sugar level. I just hope I am not suffering from diabetes. Pls pray for me
debdo1960 agree! B&B rock!! I have a sudden flare up (first time ) of CTS and I knew where to go. Our guys B&B!!! I start using their tips tomorrow. (As my hand goes numb holding this stupid phone)
@@undrasmith1087 you need to know your insulin level. If your blood sugar is raised youve had poor blood sugar control from eating high carbohydrates. Its a matter of when not if. If youre worried theres a reason. I lost over 100 lbs doing a ketogenic diet which reverses type2 diabetes. Look up dr berry, dr boz, dr eckberg, dr berg. It will change your life! Its the best antiinflammatory diet. Shameless plug, I have a fb group called "keto for chronic disease management" to help people just like you. ✌
After over 1-year of irritation, aggravating symptoms and numerous doctor visits with NO concrete diagnosis or understanding why my shoulder and wrist/hand were numb and tingling - I am incredibly grateful to your channel and information provided! I took this video to my doctor and said this is EXACTLY what I am experiencing!! Thank you so much for your helpful videos♥️
Women who wear a bra might want to try one without straps that compress the nerves between the neck and the shoulder...it's cured me and a number of my friends from carpal tunnel syndrome
Wow I never thought about this but I did notice it or do notice it now when I think back about wearing a strapless bra. Good to know but I just had surgery today.

Working professionally in arts and writing. I just wanted to say thank you for this comprehensive video. That one exercise with the arm outstretched (palm facing the wall and neck bent) made a world of difference, it really did. It's great that you emphasised the importance of 'being a wimp' when it matters and that more pain =/= more gain so thank you for that. Using an arm brace, a strong balm for massaging, regular stretches, and lots of sleep and over the last couple days my grip is slowly returning, strength renewing. I'll be taking another week or so of rest just in case. To anyone else reading this, the worst thing you could do to yourself right now is to expect results quick. Give your body credit and trust that you will get better in good time. Try out the exercises gently (very very gently and slowly) and don't forget the importance of deep breathing as you do them. If you're emotionally overwrought and panicking you could hurt yourself further. Release the tension. Hydrate well, sleep deep (your body heals during deep sleep), and give yourself as much time as you can. You don't want to see incremental improvement and jump back into work as if you're all better, only to get injured again. You're going to be ok, medical procedure or no. Give yourself time.
As a musician (bass, Piano, guitar), I was pretty bummed when my wrists starting acting up despite paying attention to proper technique. This video has made me feel a little better and realize it's not the end of the world yet. My issues, most likely, are probably the result of my wrist position while I sleep as well as my job. I'm going to start stretching and just bought some braces to wear.
in the same position. As soon as I felt pain beginning I went and got a brace and now I just hope with regular stretching and some lifestyle changes I will not have to worry about losing my career
I'm a 74 year old guitar vocalist. In the past week, my wrist pain has increased, not fun. Luckily the pain is not constant. Funny the pain diminishes while playing a one hour gig. Is it mind over matter. THANKS for this video.
Hi Bob & Brad, I went to the urgent care yesterday & they had a intern student come to check. He was more in a hurry & very unprofessional. He was not able to address my questions nor my concerns. I wanted to get a doctors note for two weeks off from work. I have two jobs as a realtor & as a Beauty consultant at Target … where the management makes you work insanely with no human consideration. Instead, he wrote me a note saying only 18 boxes a day is suitable for me. Sooo disappointed. I learned a lot from your video so thank you so much. I hope in the future ppl who join medicine must remember why they picked that career and show passion & honest dedication.
I’m a 25 year old female with carpal tunnel on both wrists, worse on my dominant right hand. I’ve been a barista for 6 years, which is what caused it, and now am in massage therapy school. The pain has flared up majorly lately, but your videos have been so helpful.
I'm a few months shy of 30 and I've had various intermittent tendonitis/CTS issues with my left arm/wrist for years (cause initially by RSI as a guitar player). Over the last 3y or so, my dominant right arm has far outstripped anything I ever felt in my left. Many days over the last 6-8 months were maddening, close to unbearable. I'm finally making some progress with treatment/specialist referrals but I can totally sympathize with the experience.
@@pawsandpaintstudio Hey! Yes, it's all better. I've done some wrist exercises like squeeze ball therapy. (If you want, I can give you the product name) I'm always cautious though because I can feel it sometimes if I'm too aggressive with my left hand.
Once it heals and feel that's it not an issue. Can I left weights at the gym and do some moderate exercises while maybe using a support sport wrist? How long does it usually take to heal I'm in my mid 20's Thanks for your time!
Thanks for the info, I've been doing yoga/deep stretching for many years but that stretch you demonstrated was tight and e ven a little painful for me. That tells me its an area that needs attention. I used to think I had carpal tunnel but am suspecting that its the nerve in the neck. Can't wait to add this stretch to my reperatiore!
I feel like you guys are so awesome because you're make us feel happier and in a good mood. It's like I forget about my pain and just enjoy watching you guys lol
I watched this video a week ago. I have done the stretching of the shoulders with a scarf as shown and I'm blown away at the relief. Not only in my wrist and hands but I can actually move my head fully from left to right without pain, something I couldn't do after months of physio. Thank you both so much.
Question: when I do these stretches, my right arm from the elbow down feels like I hit my funny bone. This seems to confirm my issue start in my neck but are the stretches themselves then pinching the nerve? If so, should I stop these stretches?
If I could cry- I would be crying last night & today I have traumatic carpal tunnel Saw a hand specialist 5 yrs ago& he injected it- relief for four years Now extreme pain - numb & tingling. I do have muscle wasting- I've been dx. 20 yrs ago past a car accident So much wrist pain but no swelling & Dr looked at me strangely. But I also had multi herniated discs - scoliosis -nerve damage etc so they tried to treat everything w some pain meds& pt.- I was good all these years- now I'm in severe pain- can't concentrate- back tomorrow
This was so helpful. I have carpel tunnel syndrome diagnosed. The position of my neck is the only thing that causes symptoms of numbness. The doctors want to skip directly to surgery. They didn't suggest any therapy, wearing a brace, or exercises. I kept telling them I believe my neck is the main cause. Without ever checking anything in my neck, they said you have carpel tunnel, you need surgery. I was left on my own to seek out these options. I'm so thankful for videos like this.
Thank you Bob and Brad!!! You are making my life a whole lot easier to resolve pain and avoid any more surgery - Unless it is life threatening (and even then) I'll never have another surgery that could make things a lot worse. WE CAN HEAL without surgery!
Okay. Here's my progress of my daily stretches. 1st week: It hurts after waking up and sometimes it feels like it kind of burning. Numb and tingly. Made a homemade splint consisting of a piece of cloth and plastic ruler that I wear most of the time. 2nd week: There's still some numbness and tingling after waking up and little to no pain after waking up. Took out the plastic ruler and just wrap a cloth on my wrist. 3rd week: Almost no pain and numbness after waking up, except when I accidentally sleep on the arm that has CTS. Still wearing the cloth as a splnt. Will only wear it before sleeping though. 4th week: No pain or numbness now. But still wearing the cloth splint Note: On the morning that this pain started, I immediately searched for home remedies.
@@colyd2315 The stretches that they showed here and massaging starting from my palm up to my shoulders. Also some Yoga poses that can ease your back. For the stretches, 5 repetitions per pose/stretch and when I noticed that the pain is lessened, it became 6 and eventually 10. (You don't want to strain it further so you start slow and steady.) Also, the symptoms haven't come back ever since it went away thanks to this video. And now, I stretch whenever I could to give my body a wake up call.
After watching this video I know my wrists, hands, and fingers are beyond help on my own. A couple of years ago my neurologist wanted me to get surgery before my carpal tunnel got to this point, but I felt that it wasn’t necessary then. I hope no one who has carpal tunnel ever gets to the point where I am.
I get symptoms thatwake me up from deep sleep every night to the point where I only sleep approx 3 hrs. a night. My arms muscles feel like they are being pulled and the nerves pulsate severely. Driving me crazy.
I'm only 19 and tapping my wrist makes my hand super tingly and I can't bend it at all up or down I definitely think I have carpal tunnel :( I can't hold anything in my hand or bend it and it hurts a LOT
@@kaosflux9710 Hiya! I wrote this a year ago but my wrist actually has been a lot better since then! I still have painful times and it's still not super strong but it's so so much better than it was! I'm glad you found hope in my message and I found hope in yours! I'll be doing this exercises more because I completely forgot that's what saved me!
Hi sir. Im a waitress here in a hotel in dead sea jordan. Im working here for almost 2 months now. I wake up with super numb hands and tingling pain in my elbow part. Everytime i hold the tray or holding my phone i easily get numb. Please help me with my situation 😭
We have a video that mentions your exact situation! Try holding your tray differently and definitely not with the wrist full extended. This puts a ton of pressure on that nerve.
Seriously you guys are amazing!!! Great information and you make it easy to understand :) Does anyone else suffer from a feeling of "bruising" on the palm? When I wake up in the mornings it feels like my palm is bruised, no tingling or numbness, it just feels bruised and warm.
This is exactly what I needed. I had really strong suspicion I have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, so I bought vertical mouse and started with some stretches and exercises. But only after this video I've discovered that my problem is not only in the wrist area, but also in my shoulder and neck. I've never connected those two problems. Now I can treat it properly. Thanks, guys!
This is so me too. My elbow has been hurting for the past 3 days im on the computer 16 plus hours a day non stop and I know I need to take better care of myself.
Fantastic session guys! my wife just had the operation today but I wish I/we had watched this earlier. This was a very clear and thorough explanation for me! From what you've said I'm sure she has issues from her shoulders as well. I'll get her to watch it too!! Thanks again. Keep do what you're doing please!
It took me 3 months to find out that the issue was from my shoulder and this video explained and helped in just under 10 minutes... Not completely recovered but has helped reduce the tingling effect
Wow. Thank you. None of those arm stretches i ever do. That was a very easy technique to manage daily. Thank you. I have severe carpal tunnel in both hands. So bad it limits my ability to do things. The muscle between my thumb and index finger in both inside and outer side are getting too big like it is swollen, and it is hard for me to drive, to hold on thing for a long time, even to hold a knife when preparing food. My hands both get so stiff and numb...it hurts and bothers me like my hand with my wrist and forearm feeling numb as if it is not breathing at all. This exercises im sure will help. Though with my severity, it will take a lot of time before i will eventually see some improvement. The thing is, my hands are always busy with work and chores that it barely gets to rest.
@@jezreelreyes4994 hi. I was scheduled for surgery for both hands few months ago but due to my potassium being too unstable. I couldn't get it yet. I am currently under the care of a Nephrologist.
Awesome advice! I have 3 questions: 1). Is neck, shoulder, arm and/ or hand massage good for CTS? 2). Is CTS permanent, or is there something you can do to reverse it’s appearance in your life! 3). Have you found that cell phone usage has increased issues pertaining to CTS, causing it? Thank you so much!
A physical therapist ("phisiotherapist" in the UK) or occupational therapist might be able to look at exactly what you are doing while you are playing and tell you if there is a specific thing you are doing wrong. A friend of a friend was told by doctors he could never play guitar again he had done so much damage to his nerves, but a physiotherapist taught him what he could do differently and now he is back playing guitar.. of course relearning was hard!
The scalene muscles are the first muscle group mentioned about neck area issues and if I'm not wrong scalene muscles end at c7 and I have bilateral cervical ribs at c7(!) that are in the stage of attempting to fuse to the first ribs. I feel like maybe my cervical ribs poke through my scalene muscles, or perhaps it's uncomfortable because stretching the scalenes moves the ribs which adds/reduces pressure on my brachial plexi... either way, I hope better posture is good enough for everyone watching that is affected by symptoms of CTS including myself, lol ♡
Thank you so much Dr. Brad & Dr. Bob I have been really struggling with carpal tunnel syndrome... It has been almost 3 months but since past couple of days the tingling sensation has been very frequent and strong.. this video has really helped me in a day more than the medicines and my doctor visits. You guys are awesome 🤗
These guys are outstanding in what they do. I had three fingers on each had which were trigering. I watched one of their videos for this problem. Today none of those fingers are trigering! I still do the exercises to keep things flowing. Thank you so much for being the best at what you do.
After watching this few min video helped me work an 8 hour shift on the production line with little or no pain ! Thanks so much 🧑🏭 I weld replacement parts for John Deere and toro 😊🙏
Great demo on carpal tunnel. I am massage therapist for 20 years. I thought I had carpal tunnel but all your tests dont indicate I have it. I like the stretches though to help my clients and what to look for. I never realized the medial nerve starts so far up by the neck! Knowledge is power and I am excited to educate my clients on this topic to try and avoid surgery if possible. You guys are awesome!!!
Can the neck also cause pain in the wrist? I've been having a lot of pain in my wrist but never thought of it possibly being related to my issues with my neck.
hey guys me again! lol as I've said before I've got rheumatoid arthritis but I've had carpal tunnel syndrome for 20 years, I had the surgery on right hand a few years back and that led to my Ra diagnosis! I'm not allowed surgery for the left as I'm not well enough now. it's a frustrating condition as a single mum I had years struggling to make breakfast and brush my daughter's hair etc.
chinookvalley sorry to hear that hun do you have osteoarthritis or rheumatoid? Honestly I've become so incapable across my whole body that you would think the hands were the least of my worries but in fact it's the bit that bothers me the most! Being unable to stand/walk/drive etc would be much more acceptable if I could craft with my hands, I do try on a good day and I've learnt a few things I can do, it just all takes more time and plenty of aids and adaptions x
a painful disorder that is discomforting and sometimes there can be numbness of the hands. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is at the forefront of the new workplace and a significant health problem today. Cure it! Go here => ---www.carpaltunnel.drmcstuffin.com---
I have carpal tunnel have had it for twenty years and about five years ago I had the surgery on my right hand. Two years after that I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and I haven't been well enough nor is there much point in having the surgery on my left hand as the RA has taken over
I tried doing the stretches as you were showing us, and it feels SO good. Imagine feeling better the very first time. Thank you for helping us. I will keep doing these.
I been having electric shock like feeling in my fingers. And feels like my fingers are numb and hurts a lot. Wakes me up about 3 am. In dire pain. It really sucks. I need it gone.
@@Bada_Boom78 when i get on my phone. For about 5 minutes to play clash of clans or right now as i am typing this. My fingers are burning like feeling. About 3:30 to 5:00 am wake up calls. With my right hand just in pain. Not sure what it is. But, it goes away. When i am moving my hand more. I just started a new job about 3 months ago. Not sure if it could be the cause. But, this started about a month or so ago. My new job is a route delivery. I lift 5 gallon jugs of water all day. They have handles. That is about 3 days out of the week. Okay. I am done typing. My thumb feels like it asleep and hurts.
@@Bada_Boom78 crazy. Just to think. There is other people that are having the same issues. We are having. I hope yours gets better. I am going to make an appointment to see what's going on. I'll let you know what i find out.
Thanks this explains my pain, I am a seamstress and spend 8-10 hrs a day hunched over a sewing machine or hauling heavy wedding gowns around the sewing room. I will try your stretching exercises as I have almost constant tingling in my thumb & adgaisant two fingers
Oh my gosh thank you so much I thought I had cts but the neck pain is what I think is causing my hand pain because I’ve had pain on the left side of my neck, the left side of my arm, and then pain and weakness in my left hand as well. Thank you so much
I have it in my right hand and I'm only 23! Didn't realize the average age was much older. I've had it for a year and got it because I play guitar. My right hand technique has diminished a great deal in that time. For example all of my fingerpicking skills were lost. I can barely position my hand to do so. What's worse is I can't even hold a pick let alone use it. (Which is depressing considering that right before I got the syndrome I obtained these beautiful stone guitar picks.) What I find interesting is that I have heard that guitar players typically get it in the LEFT or the fretting hand and not the right. But I'm going for a consult with my surgeon tomorrow, and am experiencing pain as I'm typing so...wish me luck!
Hey, i'm 22 and have all symtoms like u. I'm curious about ur sergery, how are u now? how much time we need untill get well etc.Please write me back,thx.
Same. Trouble is with the Right hand (pick hand). It is now nearly impossible to rotate my right wrist to bring a pick across the strings. It doesn't hurt that much, it just feels like I don't have control over that motion. Anyone made any progress?
I am under a lot of stress, Im 18 Years old and I have pain in my veins down my forearms and wrists and fingers, i have tingling feeling as well. I dont know what that may be, i am feeling that tingling for a week now and I dont understand what it is, do you have any ideas?
Is it possible to have carpal tunnel syndrome when the pain is on my upper right arm, where it joins the shoulder? It is very painful. I spend lots of hours working on the computer which I think is the cause of the pain.
Turned 50 and starting to hurt a bit. Thank you guys for helping my knee, you videos worked for dislocation. Now I have a tingling in hand. 17 years or office typing will do that.
I have had this since I was 50. I’m 74 now and wear tight knitted gloves to bed. It helps somewhat. Doing exercises for it now. Seems to be getting better.
Thank you ..both areas are bothersome being I have DDD in my neck..& pain in wrist❤❤❤ Ps...my profession ..i use my arms extended like you say not to ....for 30 years Yikes...can I get some prayer, in agreement 😊thank you!!!
I have extremely SEVERE carpal tunnel bilaterally and my surgeon will not operate until my bilateral knee replacements are completely healed. The first knee replacement is in 7 days so the second replacement might not be until September or October 2020. He won’t give me steroid injections either. I have CONSTANT pins and needles feeling in both hands in the fingers, every night I wake up around midnight with unbelievable searing burning sensation in both hands and nothing helps it but time. I have completely weak, no strength in my hands and drop everything. My fingers just let everything go. Is there ANYTHING that you could recommend to help ANY of my systems? I’m really suffering here. Thank you.
Good morning I think you’re doing this shoulder blade pain especially when I’m sleeping I’m not sure what it is. My shoulder is movable. Just hurts when I do stretches sleep on it but I’ve had it for quite a couple of months already and just wondering if there’s a good exercise, I don’t know if it’s my rotator my shoulder blade but it’s in that area. How can you help with exercise?
Thanks for the info. I work from home at a computer and in process of building a new office. I have seen some desks that tilt allowing your chair to be leaning back to help avoid slouching. Would you recommend this for long periods of time or could being leant back cause back problems. I currently suffer from what feels like carpal tunnel, my hands become very numb with severe burning sensation during the night, especially if i've done any physical work. I'm 40 now and very keen to improve situation. Appreciate any advice you have, thanks again.
I’ve had the surgery on both of my wrists. While my pediatrician took the pain and dysfunction seriously, the orthopedic doctor implies that I was lying and e exaggerating the pain it caused. He told my mom that I was too young to have it. I was 13. She gave him what for because of it. After &00 mg of Motrin twice a day did nothing, he finally sent me to have a nerve test done and, surprise, I had a pretty bad case of it. When my mom to me for the results, the doctor acted like he knew it was all along. Never apologized either and scheduled the surgery. As we were leaving, I looked at the dude and was like. “I’ve been on using a computer since I were 3., used a Braille writer until being given a note taker (a PDA with Braille keys, speech , and a Braille display. You knew all this, tell me and my mom you thought I was lying with no evidence, then act like you knew the whole time.. I hope you don’t treat all your patients this was… its disrespectful and arrogant.”
Guys I actually have thumb atrophy and my grip is weak, and overall the strength in my right hand is weak. My arm feels numb or tinglingly at night. It’s been like this for 3 years. I don’t want surgery. Shit I can’t afford to see a neurologist. I’m really scared. What if this is progressive? What if it’s something more than carpal? 😔
I quit racing motorcycles in 2010 because my hands go numb while riding. I saw a neurologist on the 1st and verified i have severe CTS. It's more than time to fix it.
Thank you guys so much. I’m 22 years old. I had to get carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand because I wasn’t able to sleep more than 2-3 hours at a time. My left hand isn’t as bad and this has been an excellent resource.
I did the stretches on this video and it set my carpel tunnel on absolute fire. I slept 30 minutes last night max. Just left the doctor with a steroid perscription. These stretches may work for some but not all. BEWARE!!
I was supposed to have surgery for my carpal tunnel syndrome in 2018 but I lost my insurance so I never had the surgery and I haven't been back to the doctor, now my right hand and forearm arm have constant burning pain I wear a brace all day and night every day and night, I can barely use my right hand at all, but my son-in-law seems to think I just need to exercise it and the pain will go away, and he can't get it through his head that it hurts to even brush my hair...so frustrating.. people just don't understand how painful carpal tunnel is 😞
I'm 22 wks pregnant. My symptoms got much worse since my pregnancy. I wear wrists braces for the night but my hands still fall asleep and they really hurt. As I'm texting this message my middle fingers in both hands are tingling... I can't sleep. I shouldn't be sleeping on my back because of baby but sleeping on my sides makes it worse...
Thank you to you both for this free advice and expertise on carpel tunnel. Very informative and the stretching really helps ease some of the pain. Thank you
I do hair for a living. I have carpal tunnel in my left hand, I got a shot in my hand this past Friday and it did NOTHING. I ran across you guys and did the stretches and now I have SOME relief. Im going to start doing them before and after I do hair. Thank you! 💕
I'm 26 and i have CTS in both hand! Surgery is highly recommended, but not desirable. The surgeons assure me there is 100% no alternative solution to treat CTS.
My 2 hobbies are piano & playing golf. For a few years I’ve been getting a dull pain in my left thumb & base of left hand & also in my neck on the left side radiating into my shoulder & arm. Could all this be linked to carpal tunnel? I know it’s not a heart problem, had all that checked out. 👍
I am a professional guitar player now retired but have played guitar since I was 10 years old . About 1 year ago I started having problems with my left hand middle finger hurt like if wearing a ring that was to tight around the middle knuckle where you would wear a ring. I don't wear rings. and when bending my hand in playing guitar I can hardly bend that middle finger . Also I notice most of the time at the base of where my neck meets the shoulder I feel dull pain on the left side that goes across the top of my shoulder left side and on the very shoulder to arm down to my elbow. It will at night or sometimes cause my left hand to go to sleep and tingle . I've had Xray's and it comes back minor arthritis in my shoulder joint and hand. When I do the stretches that you show in shoulder and neck like the wall W exercises . I am told just take Advil and practice less on Guitar . But I did watch Les Paul talk about do stretches before playing and warm up exercises before a performance, not that I am doing many today but I still have my love of music it is like stopping a bird from flying . This has been very hard to deal with when nothing is out there talking about Guitar player and musicians that get these problems I am 67 years old by the way . Thank you for all the help and your videos
Will I ever be able to exercise again. I had an incident were my shoulder locked for two days, then after two weeks of rest, my wrist locked up, plus major numbness. But rest made them better. But my right arm is constantly feeling weird.
in my right arm and hand...i have no pain what so ever...just complete numbness in my "ring" finger and pinkie. and down the right side of my arm. So pinkie finger can be involved.
I have no pain during the day but some slight during the night. Resolves itself during the day using your nerve stretching exercises. However, the weakness in my right index finger remains. Can exercises restore the strength or do I need to seek professional treatment? I'm 77 and in better than average health. This problem is very recent, within the last couple of months. Started with pain in lower arm and just recently, about a week ago, the weakness in the index finger manifested itself. Anyway to restore that strength in the index finger short of surgery?
I don't give a damn about fun. I'm here because I'm a saxophonist and I don't have a fucking choice but to work on my body in order to be able to play my instrument.
Hello there! Had C.T surgery done on left hand last March, 18. Long story short, i also now have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome post/op. . . Complications since? But working on it.... Whats your take to this?? Tks
So I’m 31 and have been suffering with carpal tunnel pains since I was about 19 I was a clumsy kid I feel a lot and was always over weight but when I had my first kid at 28 it got so much worst and never got better my hands get numb with everything I do the worst is that everything fall out of my hands and the numbness goes into all my fingers including the bottom side of my pinky now it’s become so bad that my hands tingle all day and have numbness sensation all the time I feel like there’s no more Strength in my hands making a fist is painful I can still lift heavy things but it’s excruciating would simple exercise Be my cure instead of having surgery
Hello all, Can anyone please help me how do i overcome CTS? is there any permanent solution. this is causing anxiety and stress.. Im afraid, i will go into depression...
I am 31 and is my right hand dominate. I swear when numbs I just get mad 😡💢. My work is mowing lawns i usually get it with weed wacker. Now has gone worst when I sleep.
I hurt my right hand in a car accident back in 2016 hit it with the steering wheel I noticed the bone is sticking out right away and I was in severe pain my hand was swelling for almost a month when I went to the ER they said nothing was damaged it's just a bruised and the bone will go back to its place which never did, I went to the orthopedic last month did X rays and MRI they gave me steroid injection it made the pain worse. Please I need an advice do you think I should do the surgery I'm very scared and stressed out because I'm right handed if anything goes wrong I'm screwed.
I have bad wrist pain that seems to radiate to my forearm in areas and elbow. I have 0 tingling and numbness in my fingers. Is this carpal tunnel? I did your tests and it didn’t cause any tingling either. Really frustrated with my situation as I work on a computer all day and the wrist brace can only help so much.
You guys give me so much hope. Thank you guys so much. I just heard about carpal tunnel syndrome a week ago when my doctor diagnosed me with it. He said I may need a cortisone shot in both wrists (yes, it’s on both sides) if not surgery. I told my physical therapist and he gave me a list of exercises to do to help it. Some of which you demonstrate. I hope I don’t need to have surgery with these exercises. Thank you guys so much.
The brace you demonstrate is not on your products page and I can't seem to find it online. I want to try that as the wrist brace I bought from the drug store seems to make my symptoms worse. Also, I have found that if I tape together the middle, ring and pinkie of the affected hand that I have less discomfort. Any thoughts as to why that is? Thank you.

Love you guys....very informative.
I would like to add...don't get discouraged if you don't get significant relief right away. You MUST be consistent in doing the stretches every day for up to several weeks/months before total relief.
Also make sure you sleep correctly (on your side) with a pillow between your knees and neck supported and in alignment with your back.
It took me several months and I am proud to say I am healed without surgery....totally off meds.
I am continuing my stretches and to make sure I stay well, I have built up my core muscles to help support my healing as well as worked on my posture (it's not perfect, but I'm getting there). I had forward head posture, arthritis, and thoracic nerve syndrome....all fixed. My doctor who suggested surgery which involved removing thumb bones is very impressed with my healing! I'm over the moon to dodge surgery and thankful for all your help.
Hoping this encourages your readers to keep at it. Stretching, good posture, healthy eating healthy, drinking plenty of water....and staying positive are key to good health! Oh...and watching you guys 😜

I have numbness and pain in my right hand and all the other symptoms.
My doctor suggested me to go for a blood test to know my sugar level. I just hope I am not suffering from diabetes.
Pls pray for me
debdo1960 agree! B&B rock!!
I have a sudden flare up (first time ) of CTS and I knew where to go. Our guys B&B!!! I start using their tips tomorrow. (As my hand goes numb holding this stupid phone)
@@undrasmith1087 you need to know your insulin level. If your blood sugar is raised youve had poor blood sugar control from eating high carbohydrates. Its a matter of when not if. If youre worried theres a reason. I lost over 100 lbs doing a ketogenic diet which reverses type2 diabetes. Look up dr berry, dr boz, dr eckberg, dr berg. It will change your life! Its the best antiinflammatory diet. Shameless plug, I have a fb group called "keto for chronic disease management" to help people just like you. ✌
Thank you for sharing this.
After over 1-year of irritation, aggravating symptoms and numerous doctor visits with NO concrete diagnosis or understanding why my shoulder and wrist/hand were numb and tingling - I am incredibly grateful to your channel and information provided! I took this video to my doctor and said this is EXACTLY what I am experiencing!! Thank you so much for your helpful videos♥️
Dont understand you have caral syndrome?? Hands pain? What treatment you did??
Anything and everything we need to know. Have a pain? Check with these guys on how to get rid of it without drugs! Love you, Brad and Bob!
Women who wear a bra might want to try one without straps that compress the nerves between the neck and the shoulder...it's cured me and a number of my friends from carpal tunnel syndrome
Does this need to be strapless or a wider strap as to relieve pressure from one spot? Like a sports bra?
Wow I never thought about this but I did notice it or do notice it now when I think back about wearing a strapless bra. Good to know but I just had surgery today.
Sometimes pain in my body brings me to tears. You guys are my lifeline and I really mean that. You have taught me so much. Thank you.
I can feel your emotions
Pain from Carpal tunnel? 😩
Omg me too I was literally about to start crying right now I hate carpal tunnel 😢
I'm investigating treating carpal tunnel syndrome at home and discovered an awesome resource at Dariks Pain Destroyer (check it out on google)
@@abigailsmith5597
Are you still havn carpal tunnel? I sew
& I hv discovered 2
Of the cheapest ways
To get it to(these tips will not take it away completely but every time my carpal tunnel acts up I do these things which are;
1.)Soak yr hands in hot water with dawn dish liquid soap for
(3)minutes&
Then soak yr hands in very cold water&
Use ice in the cold water for;
(1)minute also
I made a; small pillow& a small pillow case to go over the small pillow & I put my hand in the pillow case & I put my fingers over the pillow while I sleep during the night these tips always help me!!!!&So I hope my tips&
Brad&Bob help you2!!😇👍🙏
Working professionally in arts and writing. I just wanted to say thank you for this comprehensive video. That one exercise with the arm outstretched (palm facing the wall and neck bent) made a world of difference, it really did. It's great that you emphasised the importance of 'being a wimp' when it matters and that more pain =/= more gain so thank you for that.
Using an arm brace, a strong balm for massaging, regular stretches, and lots of sleep and over the last couple days my grip is slowly returning, strength renewing. I'll be taking another week or so of rest just in case.
To anyone else reading this, the worst thing you could do to yourself right now is to expect results quick. Give your body credit and trust that you will get better in good time. Try out the exercises gently (very very gently and slowly) and don't forget the importance of deep breathing as you do them. If you're emotionally overwrought and panicking you could hurt yourself further. Release the tension.
Hydrate well, sleep deep (your body heals during deep sleep), and give yourself as much time as you can. You don't want to see incremental improvement and jump back into work as if you're all better, only to get injured again. You're going to be ok, medical procedure or no. Give yourself time.
As a musician (bass, Piano, guitar), I was pretty bummed when my wrists starting acting up despite paying attention to proper technique. This video has made me feel a little better and realize it's not the end of the world yet. My issues, most likely, are probably the result of my wrist position while I sleep as well as my job. I'm going to start stretching and just bought some braces to wear.
I play drums and my fingers are starting to hurt and my forearm too tbh so that’s a bummer
in the same position. As soon as I felt pain beginning I went and got a brace and now I just hope with regular stretching and some lifestyle changes I will not have to worry about losing my career
I'm a 74 year old guitar vocalist. In the past week, my wrist pain has increased, not fun. Luckily the pain is not constant. Funny the pain diminishes while playing a one hour gig. Is it mind over matter. THANKS for this video.
Hi Bob & Brad, I went to the urgent care yesterday & they had a intern student come to check. He was more in a hurry & very unprofessional. He was not able to address my questions nor my concerns. I wanted to get a doctors note for two weeks off from work. I have two jobs as a realtor & as a Beauty consultant at Target … where the management makes you work insanely with no human consideration. Instead, he wrote me a note saying only 18 boxes a day is suitable for me. Sooo disappointed. I learned a lot from your video so thank you so much. I hope in the future ppl who join medicine must remember why they picked that career and show passion & honest dedication.
😅
I’m a 25 year old female with carpal tunnel on both wrists, worse on my dominant right hand. I’ve been a barista for 6 years, which is what caused it, and now am in massage therapy school. The pain has flared up majorly lately, but your videos have been so helpful.
I can relate it the same way... It started on the right and moved to the left as well but this video has helped alot in a short span
I'm a few months shy of 30 and I've had various intermittent tendonitis/CTS issues with my left arm/wrist for years (cause initially by RSI as a guitar player). Over the last 3y or so, my dominant right arm has far outstripped anything I ever felt in my left. Many days over the last 6-8 months were maddening, close to unbearable. I'm finally making some progress with treatment/specialist referrals but I can totally sympathize with the experience.
Ok what if I have all these symptoms but mine in pinky, ring and middle finger is numb?
I'm 32, I have this in my left hand. I hate it so much and it can bring to tears to how painful it is!
You feeling better?!
@@pawsandpaintstudio Hey! Yes, it's all better. I've done some wrist exercises like squeeze ball therapy. (If you want, I can give you the product name) I'm always cautious though because I can feel it sometimes if I'm too aggressive with my left hand.
Once it heals and feel that's it not an issue. Can I left weights at the gym and do some moderate exercises while maybe using a support sport wrist? How long does it usually take to heal I'm in my mid 20's
Thanks for your time!
Thanks for the info, I've been doing yoga/deep stretching for many years but that stretch you demonstrated was tight and e ven a little painful for me. That tells me its an area that needs attention. I used to think I had carpal tunnel but am suspecting that its the nerve in the neck. Can't wait to add this stretch to my reperatiore!
I feel like you guys are so awesome because you're make us feel happier and in a good mood. It's like I forget about my pain and just enjoy watching you guys lol
I watched this video a week ago. I have done the stretching of the shoulders with a scarf as shown and I'm blown away at the relief. Not only in my wrist and hands but I can actually move my head fully from left to right without pain, something I couldn't do after months of physio. Thank you both so much.
Question: when I do these stretches, my right arm from the elbow down feels like I hit my funny bone. This seems to confirm my issue start in my neck but are the stretches themselves then pinching the nerve? If so, should I stop these stretches?
If I could cry- I would be crying last night & today
I have traumatic carpal tunnel
Saw a hand specialist 5 yrs ago& he injected it- relief for four years
Now extreme pain - numb & tingling.
I do have muscle wasting- I've been dx. 20 yrs ago past a car accident
So much wrist pain but no swelling & Dr looked at me strangely. But I also had multi herniated discs - scoliosis -nerve damage etc so they tried to treat everything w some pain meds& pt.- I was good all these years- now I'm in severe pain- can't concentrate- back tomorrow
This was so helpful. I have carpel tunnel syndrome diagnosed. The position of my neck is the only thing that causes symptoms of numbness. The doctors want to skip directly to surgery. They didn't suggest any therapy, wearing a brace, or exercises. I kept telling them I believe my neck is the main cause. Without ever checking anything in my neck, they said you have carpel tunnel, you need surgery. I was left on my own to seek out these options. I'm so thankful for videos like this.
Thank you Bob and Brad!!! You are making my life a whole lot easier to resolve pain and avoid any more surgery - Unless it is life threatening (and even then) I'll never have another surgery that could make things a lot worse. WE CAN HEAL without surgery!
19 here, my right hand started to hurt and become numb/tingly a few days ago. Hopefully I follow through these exercises and the pain will go away.
Please respond. How are you now?
Same here I’m 19 too and all of a sudden my right hand started to hurt feel super weak and achy
Okay. Here's my progress of my daily stretches.
1st week: It hurts after waking up and sometimes it feels like it kind of burning. Numb and tingly. Made a homemade splint consisting of a piece of cloth and plastic ruler that I wear most of the time.
2nd week: There's still some numbness and tingling after waking up and little to no pain after waking up. Took out the plastic ruler and just wrap a cloth on my wrist.
3rd week: Almost no pain and numbness after waking up, except when I accidentally sleep on the arm that has CTS. Still wearing the cloth as a splnt. Will only wear it before sleeping though.
4th week: No pain or numbness now. But still wearing the cloth splint
Note: On the morning that this pain started, I immediately searched for home remedies.
@@theslightlytiltedcat hey! what's your full routine of stretches? just started getting symptoms over here :/
@@colyd2315 The stretches that they showed here and massaging starting from my palm up to my shoulders. Also some Yoga poses that can ease your back.
For the stretches, 5 repetitions per pose/stretch and when I noticed that the pain is lessened, it became 6 and eventually 10. (You don't want to strain it further so you start slow and steady.)
Also, the symptoms haven't come back ever since it went away thanks to this video. And now, I stretch whenever I could to give my body a wake up call.
After watching this video I know my wrists, hands, and fingers are beyond help on my own. A couple of years ago my neurologist wanted me to get surgery before my carpal tunnel got to this point, but I felt that it wasn’t necessary then. I hope no one who has carpal tunnel ever gets to the point where I am.
I get symptoms thatwake me up from deep sleep every night to the point where I only sleep approx 3 hrs. a night. My arms muscles feel like they are being pulled and the nerves pulsate severely. Driving me crazy.
Smoke bud
Same here. It just started about 2 weeks or so ago.
@@JoeSmith-sr7ex that doesn't work for everybody dude lol
Same
@@GhostsQueen85 u not smoking enough good Shit try 50mg night 2 hours be4sleep
I'm only 19 and tapping my wrist makes my hand super tingly and I can't bend it at all up or down I definitely think I have carpal tunnel :( I can't hold anything in my hand or bend it and it hurts a LOT
Have you tried the exercise on the video and the wrist brace? How is your hand and wrist now?
I had a really sturdy wrist brace on for three months took it off only to shower and my wrist is completely fine now!
@@mikayladalton2222 so glad to hear it's better, gives me hope! Lol
@@kaosflux9710 Hiya! I wrote this a year ago but my wrist actually has been a lot better since then! I still have painful times and it's still not super strong but it's so so much better than it was! I'm glad you found hope in my message and I found hope in yours! I'll be doing this exercises more because I completely forgot that's what saved me!
Hi sir. Im a waitress here in a hotel in dead sea jordan. Im working here for almost 2 months now. I wake up with super numb hands and tingling pain in my elbow part. Everytime i hold the tray or holding my phone i easily get numb. Please help me with my situation 😭
We have a video that mentions your exact situation! Try holding your tray differently and definitely not with the wrist full extended. This puts a ton of pressure on that nerve.
Thanks guys....again. Whenever something in this old jalopy breaks down, I head on over to Bob & Brad.
You guys are amazing thank you so much!!! Gracias!
Seriously you guys are amazing!!! Great information and you make it easy to understand :) Does anyone else suffer from a feeling of "bruising" on the palm? When I wake up in the mornings it feels like my palm is bruised, no tingling or numbness, it just feels bruised and warm.
This is exactly what I needed. I had really strong suspicion I have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, so I bought vertical mouse and started with some stretches and exercises. But only after this video I've discovered that my problem is not only in the wrist area, but also in my shoulder and neck. I've never connected those two problems. Now I can treat it properly. Thanks, guys!
This is so me too. My elbow has been hurting for the past 3 days im on the computer 16 plus hours a day non stop and I know I need to take better care of myself.
Fantastic session guys! my wife just had the operation today but I wish I/we had watched this earlier. This was a very clear and thorough explanation for me! From what you've said I'm sure she has issues from her shoulders as well. I'll get her to watch it too!! Thanks again. Keep do what you're doing please!
It took me 3 months to find out that the issue was from my shoulder and this video explained and helped in just under 10 minutes... Not completely recovered but has helped reduce the tingling effect
Wow. Thank you. None of those arm stretches i ever do. That was a very easy technique to manage daily. Thank you. I have severe carpal tunnel in both hands. So bad it limits my ability to do things. The muscle between my thumb and index finger in both inside and outer side are getting too big like it is swollen, and it is hard for me to drive, to hold on thing for a long time, even to hold a knife when preparing food. My hands both get so stiff and numb...it hurts and bothers me like my hand with my wrist and forearm feeling numb as if it is not breathing at all. This exercises im sure will help. Though with my severity, it will take a lot of time before i will eventually see some improvement. The thing is, my hands are always busy with work and chores that it barely gets to rest.
Just wondering How are they doing as of now?
@@jezreelreyes4994 hi. I was scheduled for surgery for both hands few months ago but due to my potassium being too unstable. I couldn't get it yet. I am currently under the care of a Nephrologist.
@@janeacusar damm sorry to hear that, hopefully you get it soon, quick question did any of the exercises work out for you? If so which ones? Thank you
@@jezreelreyes4994 My case is just bad. I meant it temporarily relieves the pain, so in some ways it does.
Doing the tapping I got some tingling ,some numbness then my right shoulder started hurting
Awesome advice!
I have 3 questions:
1). Is neck, shoulder, arm and/ or hand massage good for CTS?
2). Is CTS permanent, or is there something you can do to reverse it’s appearance in your life!
3). Have you found that cell phone usage has increased issues pertaining to CTS, causing it?
Thank you so much!
can you do more videos on different nerve glides or nerve flossing
Hand's paining while watching this 😭😭😭
For real.... 😣
I’m a 16 year old musician ( meaning I have to have good posture whether I want to or not) and both hands a tingly :/
A physical therapist ("phisiotherapist" in the UK) or occupational therapist might be able to look at exactly what you are doing while you are playing and tell you if there is a specific thing you are doing wrong. A friend of a friend was told by doctors he could never play guitar again he had done so much damage to his nerves, but a physiotherapist taught him what he could do differently and now he is back playing guitar.. of course relearning was hard!
The scalene muscles are the first muscle group mentioned about neck area issues and if I'm not wrong scalene muscles end at c7 and I have bilateral cervical ribs at c7(!) that are in the stage of attempting to fuse to the first ribs.
I feel like maybe my cervical ribs poke through my scalene muscles, or perhaps it's uncomfortable because stretching the scalenes moves the ribs which adds/reduces pressure on my brachial plexi... either way, I hope better posture is good enough for everyone watching that is affected by symptoms of CTS including myself, lol ♡
Thank you so much Dr. Brad & Dr. Bob I have been really struggling with carpal tunnel syndrome... It has been almost 3 months but since past couple of days the tingling sensation has been very frequent and strong.. this video has really helped me in a day more than the medicines and my doctor visits.
You guys are awesome 🤗
These guys are outstanding in what they do. I had three fingers on each had which were trigering. I watched one of their videos for this problem. Today none of those
fingers are trigering! I still do the exercises to keep things flowing. Thank you so much for being the best at what you do.
After watching this few min video helped me work an 8 hour shift on the production line with little or no pain ! Thanks so much 🧑🏭 I weld replacement parts for John Deere and toro 😊🙏
Great demo on carpal tunnel. I am massage therapist for 20 years. I thought I had carpal tunnel but all your tests dont indicate I have it. I like the stretches though to help my clients and what to look for. I never realized the medial nerve starts so far up by the neck! Knowledge is power and I am excited to educate my clients on this topic to try and avoid surgery if possible. You guys are awesome!!!
Can the neck also cause pain in the wrist? I've been having a lot of pain in my wrist but never thought of it possibly being related to my issues with my neck.
hey guys me again! lol as I've said before I've got rheumatoid arthritis but I've had carpal tunnel syndrome for 20 years, I had the surgery on right hand a few years back and that led to my Ra diagnosis! I'm not allowed surgery for the left as I'm not well enough now. it's a frustrating condition as a single mum I had years struggling to make breakfast and brush my daughter's hair etc.
My un-needed carpal tunnel led to arthritis, too! NO MORE SURGERY!
chinookvalley sorry to hear that hun do you have osteoarthritis or rheumatoid? Honestly I've become so incapable across my whole body that you would think the hands were the least of my worries but in fact it's the bit that bothers me the most! Being unable to stand/walk/drive etc would be much more acceptable if I could craft with my hands, I do try on a good day and I've learnt a few things I can do, it just all takes more time and plenty of aids and adaptions x
a painful disorder that is discomforting and sometimes there can be
numbness of the hands. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is at the forefront of the
new workplace and a significant health problem today.

I have carpal tunnel have had it for twenty years and about five years ago I had the surgery on my right hand. Two years after that I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and I haven't been well enough nor is there much point in having the surgery on my left hand as the RA has taken over
this runs in my family as well
I tried doing the stretches as you were showing us, and it feels SO good. Imagine feeling better the very first time. Thank you for helping us. I will keep doing these.
I JUST turned 55 and this just came over me... literally at the same time.
I been having electric shock like feeling in my fingers. And feels like my fingers are numb and hurts a lot. Wakes me up about 3 am. In dire pain. It really sucks. I need it gone.
@@Bada_Boom78 when i get on my phone. For about 5 minutes to play clash of clans or right now as i am typing this. My fingers are burning like feeling. About 3:30 to 5:00 am wake up calls. With my right hand just in pain. Not sure what it is. But, it goes away. When i am moving my hand more. I just started a new job about 3 months ago. Not sure if it could be the cause. But, this started about a month or so ago. My new job is a route delivery. I lift 5 gallon jugs of water all day. They have handles. That is about 3 days out of the week. Okay. I am done typing. My thumb feels like it asleep and hurts.
@@Bada_Boom78 crazy. Just to think. There is other people that are having the same issues. We are having. I hope yours gets better. I am going to make an appointment to see what's going on. I'll let you know what i find out.
Thankyou, I'm 22 and have it bad in my left wrist/maybe neck. Seems to be working right away
these stretches feel so good, thank you.
May i know how many minutes can i make or do with each position
Thanks this explains my pain, I am a seamstress and spend 8-10 hrs a day hunched over a sewing machine or hauling heavy wedding gowns around the sewing room. I will try your stretching exercises as I have almost constant tingling in my thumb & adgaisant two fingers
Oh my gosh thank you so much I thought I had cts but the neck pain is what I think is causing my hand pain because I’ve had pain on the left side of my neck, the left side of my arm, and then pain and weakness in my left hand as well. Thank you so much
You are so welcome! Glad that we could help!:)
Good 👍. Please get as complicated, no need of,”we do not want to get very complicated”.... Thanks
I have it in my right hand and I'm only 23! Didn't realize the average age was much older. I've had it for a year and got it because I play guitar. My right hand technique has diminished a great deal in that time. For example all of my fingerpicking skills were lost. I can barely position my hand to do so. What's worse is I can't even hold a pick let alone use it. (Which is depressing considering that right before I got the syndrome I obtained these beautiful stone guitar picks.) What I find interesting is that I have heard that guitar players typically get it in the LEFT or the fretting hand and not the right. But I'm going for a consult with my surgeon tomorrow, and am experiencing pain as I'm typing so...wish me luck!
Hey, i'm 22 and have all symtoms like u. I'm curious about ur sergery, how are u now? how much time we need untill get well etc.Please write me back,thx.
Woah same, right hand. I got it because of be playing guitar, drawing, and holding my phone too much. It hurts.
@@herahutajulu ur left hand is ok after the surgery? Do u advise the surgery and how many days u need for using ur hand after surgery?
Same. Trouble is with the Right hand (pick hand). It is now nearly impossible to rotate my right wrist to bring a pick across the strings. It doesn't hurt that much, it just feels like I don't have control over that motion. Anyone made any progress?
Hi Michael, How did your surgery turn out? I have CTS in both hands and surgery seems like the only solution.
I can't believe how knowledgeable I've become from watching these videos! Thanks for taking the time and effort to create & post these.
This channel is wonderful. Thank you so much for your help!
I am under a lot of stress, Im 18 Years old and I have pain in my veins down my forearms and wrists and fingers, i have tingling feeling as well. I dont know what that may be, i am feeling that tingling for a week now and I dont understand what it is, do you have any ideas?
Sorry to see you had no response. I was curious if your pain is any better?
No, I'll never get bored while watching you guys!
Much thanks & love to you both.
Is it possible to have carpal tunnel syndrome when the pain is on my upper right arm, where it joins the shoulder? It is very painful. I spend lots of hours working on the computer which I think is the cause of the pain.
Turned 50 and starting to hurt a bit. Thank you guys for helping my knee, you videos worked for dislocation. Now I have a tingling in hand. 17 years or office typing will do that.
I've just developed carpal tunnel. It started around my 55th birthday 🤦♀
Thank God for the 2
Who is the manufacture of the wrist brace you recommend?
I have had this since I was 50. I’m 74 now and wear tight knitted gloves to bed. It helps somewhat. Doing exercises for it now. Seems to be getting better.
Vitamin b6 and tumeric it works!!
Was wondering if turmeric would help, will give it ago! Thanks
Thank you ..both areas are bothersome being I have DDD in my neck..& pain in wrist❤❤❤
Ps...my profession ..i use my arms extended like you say not to ....for 30 years
Yikes...can I get some prayer, in agreement 😊thank you!!!
I have extremely SEVERE carpal tunnel bilaterally and my surgeon will not operate until my bilateral knee replacements are completely healed. The first knee replacement is in 7 days so the second replacement might not be until September or October 2020. He won’t give me steroid injections either. I have CONSTANT pins and needles feeling in both hands in the fingers, every night I wake up around midnight with unbelievable searing burning sensation in both hands and nothing helps it but time. I have completely weak, no strength in my hands and drop everything. My fingers just let everything go. Is there ANYTHING that you could recommend to help ANY of my systems? I’m really suffering here. Thank you.
great information guys. hope I look as young as y'all when I hit the 50s
Can I reference you guys in a safety brief at work? I work for Coca-Cola and it might get shared worldwide.
Good morning I think you’re doing this shoulder blade pain especially when I’m sleeping I’m not sure what it is. My shoulder is movable. Just hurts when I do stretches sleep on it but I’ve had it for quite a couple of months already and just wondering if there’s a good exercise, I don’t know if it’s my rotator my shoulder blade but it’s in that area. How can you help with exercise?
Thanks for the info. I work from home at a computer and in process of building a new office. I have seen some desks that tilt allowing your chair to be leaning back to help avoid slouching. Would you recommend this for long periods of time or could being leant back cause back problems. I currently suffer from what feels like carpal tunnel, my hands become very numb with severe burning sensation during the night, especially if i've done any physical work. I'm 40 now and very keen to improve situation. Appreciate any advice you have, thanks again.
Gandhi quote at the start? How about a Scripture from the WORD of God.....only the WORD of God is able to save, heal and deliver His creation.
I’ve had the surgery on both of my wrists.
While my pediatrician took the pain and dysfunction seriously, the orthopedic doctor implies that I was lying and e exaggerating the pain it caused. He told my mom that I was too young to have it. I was 13. She gave him what for because of it. After &00 mg of Motrin twice a day did nothing, he finally sent me to have a nerve test done and, surprise, I had a pretty bad case of it.
When my mom to me for the results, the doctor acted like he knew it was all along. Never apologized either and scheduled the surgery.
As we were leaving, I looked at the dude and was like. “I’ve been on using a computer since I were 3., used a Braille writer until being given a note taker (a PDA with Braille keys, speech , and a Braille display. You knew all this, tell me and my mom you thought I was lying with no evidence, then act like you knew the whole time.. I hope you don’t treat all your patients this was… its disrespectful and arrogant.”
Guys I actually have thumb atrophy and my grip is weak, and overall the strength in my right hand is weak. My arm feels numb or tinglingly at night. It’s been like this for 3 years. I don’t want surgery. Shit I can’t afford to see a neurologist. I’m really scared. What if this is progressive? What if it’s something more than carpal? 😔
I quit racing motorcycles in 2010 because my hands go numb while riding. I saw a neurologist on the 1st and verified i have severe CTS. It's more than time to fix it.
Thank you guys so much. I’m 22 years old. I had to get carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand because I wasn’t able to sleep more than 2-3 hours at a time. My left hand isn’t as bad and this has been an excellent resource.
I did the stretches on this video and it set my carpel tunnel on absolute fire. I slept 30 minutes last night max. Just left the doctor with a steroid perscription. These stretches may work for some but not all. BEWARE!!
I was supposed to have surgery for my carpal tunnel syndrome in 2018 but I lost my insurance so I never had the surgery and I haven't been back to the doctor, now my right hand and forearm arm have constant burning pain I wear a brace all day and night every day and night, I can barely use my right hand at all, but my son-in-law seems to think I just need to exercise it and the pain will go away, and he can't get it through his head that it hurts to even brush my hair...so frustrating.. people just don't understand how painful carpal tunnel is 😞
I've been diagnosed with likely carpal tunnel syndrome. Would you recommend cortisone injection?
I'm 22 wks pregnant. My symptoms got much worse since my pregnancy. I wear wrists braces for the night but my hands still fall asleep and they really hurt. As I'm texting this message my middle fingers in both hands are tingling... I can't sleep. I shouldn't be sleeping on my back because of baby but sleeping on my sides makes it worse...
Thank you to you both for this free advice and expertise on carpel tunnel. Very informative and the stretching really helps ease some of the pain. Thank you
I do hair for a living. I have carpal tunnel in my left hand, I got a shot in my hand this past Friday and it did NOTHING. I ran across you guys and did the stretches and now I have SOME relief. Im going to start doing them before and after I do hair. Thank you! 💕
Cortisone actually take 1 to 2 weeks to fully kick in, it's not instant
Thats why chin tucks werent helping me for one month this exercise gave me instant relief actually
I'm 26 and i have CTS in both hand! Surgery is highly recommended, but not desirable. The surgeons assure me there is 100% no alternative solution to treat CTS.
My 2 hobbies are piano & playing golf. For a few years I’ve been getting a dull pain in my left thumb & base of left hand & also in my neck on the left side radiating into my shoulder & arm. Could all this be linked to carpal tunnel? I know it’s not a heart problem, had all that checked out. 👍
I am a professional guitar player now retired but have played guitar since I was 10 years old . About 1 year ago I started having problems with my left hand middle finger hurt like if wearing a ring that was to tight around the middle knuckle where you would wear a ring. I don't wear rings. and when bending my hand in playing guitar I can hardly bend that middle finger . Also I notice most of the time at the base of where my neck meets the shoulder I feel dull pain on the left side that goes across the top of my shoulder left side and on the very shoulder to arm down to my elbow. It will at night or sometimes cause my left hand to go to sleep and tingle . I've had Xray's and it comes back minor arthritis in my shoulder joint and hand. When I do the stretches that you show in shoulder and neck like the wall W exercises . I am told just take Advil and practice less on Guitar . But I did watch Les Paul talk about do stretches before playing and warm up exercises before a performance, not that I am doing many today but I still have my love of music it is like stopping a bird from flying . This has been very hard to deal with when nothing is out there talking about Guitar player and musicians that get these problems I am 67 years old by the way . Thank you for all the help and your videos
Will I ever be able to exercise again. I had an incident were my shoulder locked for two days, then after two weeks of rest, my wrist locked up, plus major numbness. But rest made them better. But my right arm is constantly feeling weird.
I’m 20 I have carpol tunnel and can’t afford surgery and it’s is extremely painful when I wake up the next morning after work
in my right arm and hand...i have no pain what so ever...just complete numbness in my "ring" finger and pinkie. and down the right side of my arm. So pinkie finger can be involved.
I have no pain during the day but some slight during the night. Resolves itself during the day using your nerve stretching exercises. However, the weakness in my right index finger remains. Can exercises restore the strength or do I need to seek professional treatment? I'm 77 and in better than average health. This problem is very recent, within the last couple of months. Started with pain in lower arm and just recently, about a week ago, the weakness in the index finger manifested itself. Anyway to restore that strength in the index finger short of surgery?
I don't give a damn about fun. I'm here because I'm a saxophonist and I don't have a fucking choice but to work on my body in order to be able to play my instrument.
Hello there!

So I’m 31 and have been suffering with carpal tunnel pains since I was about 19 I was a clumsy kid I feel a lot and was always over weight but when I had my first kid at 28 it got so much worst and never got better my hands get numb with everything I do the worst is that everything fall out of my hands and the numbness goes into all my fingers including the bottom side of my pinky now it’s become so bad that my hands tingle all day and have numbness sensation all the time I feel like there’s no more Strength in my hands making a fist is painful I can still lift heavy things but it’s excruciating would simple exercise Be my cure instead of having surgery
Thinking of going to surgeon to get away the numbness and pain! And watching such videos say..hold on.
Im all confused.
Hello all, Can anyone please help me how do i overcome CTS? is there any permanent solution. this is causing anxiety and stress.. Im afraid, i will go into depression...
I am 31 and is my right hand dominate. I swear when numbs I just get mad 😡💢. My work is mowing lawns i usually get it with weed wacker. Now has gone worst when I sleep.
I hurt my right hand in a car accident back in 2016 hit it with the steering wheel I noticed the bone is sticking out right away and I was in severe pain my hand was swelling for almost a month when I went to the ER they said nothing was damaged it's just a bruised and the bone will go back to its place which never did, I went to the orthopedic last month did X rays and MRI they gave me steroid injection it made the pain worse. Please I need an advice do you think I should do the surgery I'm very scared and stressed out because I'm right handed if anything goes wrong I'm screwed.
I have bad wrist pain that seems to radiate to my forearm in areas and elbow. I have 0 tingling and numbness in my fingers. Is this carpal tunnel? I did your tests and it didn’t cause any tingling either. Really frustrated with my situation as I work on a computer all day and the wrist brace can only help so much.
You guys give me so much hope. Thank you guys so much. I just heard about carpal tunnel syndrome a week ago when my doctor diagnosed me with it. He said I may need a cortisone shot in both wrists (yes, it’s on both sides) if not surgery. I told my physical therapist and he gave me a list of exercises to do to help it. Some of which you demonstrate. I hope I don’t need to have surgery with these exercises. Thank you guys so much.
Did you get better?
Too many cook's in the kitchen, just need to know how to fix my ailment! When both talking over each other very unprofessional
My work is the culprit and I sleep with my arms under my pillow. It's quite painful some mornings.
The brace you demonstrate is not on your products page and I can't seem to find it online. I want to try that as the wrist brace I bought from the drug store seems to make my symptoms worse. Also, I have found that if I tape together the middle, ring and pinkie of the affected hand that I have less discomfort. Any thoughts as to why that is? Thank you.
