Carpal Tunnel syndrome (CTS) Update

[Bcol]

Hi all, this an update to a post I made around 6 maybe 7 months ago regarding an upsurge in my CTS. A post which received a variety of replies and advice!

I was down to 5mg when the CTS particularly in my right hand/wrist became really grumpy. After a chat with the doc. he agreed with me, that it could well be a PMR sideline and that it was worth going back up to 10mg to try and mop up the inflammation that was causing it. As I mentioned this met with some "interesting" advice. Anyway, I'm now back to 5mg and contemplating the next step down, and my CTS has disappeared to a very acceptable level, i.e almost gone. Very happy I went down this route and saved the possibilities of injections/surgery for a later time if/when it might return.🙂🙂

Especially given the performance of CTS surgery!
