Thank you all so much for your feedback. I do not relish the thought of surgery so I am willing to try almost anything. Heading out this morning to get fish oil and vitamin B.

What I do know is that nerve damage is irreversible so all I can do is hope to control the numbness and pain. Mr. Silver, thank you for the thoughts on my desk ergonomics. I have addressed that and really have no discomfort typing. However, I don't sit and type all day - I am up and down and in and out of my office. I spend as much time in the field as I do here. What does hurt is having to write anything more than my signature - hand goes numb almost immediately when I pick up a pen (I use the really big fat ones) and holding the phone. *sigh*

Again, thank you for the feedback and alternatives to surgery!
