hands......grrrrrr.....

Are you using a night splint? Fortunately I only get mild CTS, but sleeping in a splint for a few days is usually all it takes.

Also, clicking a mouse button puts a lot of stress on my wrist nerves. I'm much happier since I set up my touch pad for tap-click.

+1 on the B6 and Omega-3s.

And BTW, nerve damage is *not* irreversible. Nerves take a long, long time to heal, but with the exception of some parts of the spinal cord, they *do* heal. I've bruised nerves twice, and cut a minor sensory nerve, with full recovery in all cases.

Yes, I am using night splints (both hands), but notice little difference. Both go numb during the night, no matter what position I am in. For the record, this has been brewing for a long time. It has just recently - since early Sept. - gotten really bad.

I use a laptop exclusively with a touch pad - and have the whole thing set up ergonomicly so my hands are in the correct position.

Thanks for the input on nerve damage - I had been told (not by a dr, but by a friend who has had the same problem) that it was. So much for assumptions, huh?
