Well School is now over and I can rest my shoulder and wrist. I went to the dr, yesterday and she wants me to continue with physical therapy until mid July. My left arm is getting stronger, but I still have trouble lifting things. I also have lots of tingling in the fingers and left hand along with dropping things easily. I will be seeing a hand surgeon on the 26th of June. My EMG shows I have severe carpal tunnel in the Left wrist. I will probably have surgery this summer yet. I have not been around much but, I still think of all of you.

I've had Carpal tunnel surgery on both hands and on the right hand I asked for an arm block (I was breastfeeding and didn't want an anaesthetic). I watched them do the surgery and as soon as the operation was done I had feeling again. It is a wonderful operation - very fast. Just remember to rest the hand for a few weeks after. Luckily I had an automatic car at that time! Love Chris

Cindy, so glad that you are off for the summer - it sounds like you will be working full time - to heal and recover completely to get back to using your arm, shoulder and wrists. We pray for you and think of you, as well.

Sounds like your summer is going to be spent making improvement with wrist and shoulder discomfort. Hope you get everything resolved before school starts again.

So good to hear from you again, but, so sorry you are going throught the difficulties with the shoulder and wrist. I had a frozen shoulder a few years back. A shot of cortisone, along with serious physical therapy done by myself with determination to get the shoulder back to normal worked wonders1 I, also, have a damaged wrist from a severe break causing nerve damage, etc., was helped tremendously with continuous movement. Best wishes for all your problems to get resolved soon!!
Hugs,
Angel

I symphatise with your plight. I have had carpal tunnel syndrome and had the operations 7 years ago. It is worth your while to have it done - it is really so nice not to be in pain anymore. Mine was a huge success. Hope you will have the same result and I wish you all the best.**** Hope you have a good rest. (Well deserved, I might add).
