I had both my wrists done this summer due to carpel tunnel. I sware it has something to do with the fibro. My whole arms would go numb. No feeling what so ever!!! But OMG, when the feeling started coming back IT WAS SO PAINFUL!!!! Have the operation, big relief!!!!

@ scfc0161 A number of years ago I was having awful pain in the right hand and wrist. I worked for USPS and of course, had to wade through a lot paperwork to even get them to pay the doc and for prescription. I was put on light duty but had considerable pain. After seeing the doc I had to wait and saw another doc. The next year I went back to the Neurologist and he said he didn't see any difference from the year before. I said, how about comparing them (he should have done that without me asking) and that is when he saw it was getting progressively worse. Still no approval for surgery. I called my bone doctor one night about the pain and told him to just cut my hand off. OK, crazy but he knew then how much pain I was in. I finally had surgery and no problems except that part of the hand will turn purple if I am clapping. It sounds like it could be carpal tunnel but I don't remember mine being that numb. It could be something else as well. Good luck and let us know how your appt. goes.
Merry Christmas Bunnie

my hands and wrists suffer terribly,now ,my finger tips aregoing numb.some days are worse than others.other than pain killers i rub copious amounts of moisterizer on my hands which helps for some reason..helps bring the feeling back heat also helps

they put somethings on your hand ! they turn on the machine and little electric pricks you get ! does not hurt they read the paper and can tell if you have it ! i had on both hands ! the Dr said he had never seen it on a house wife ! i had O C D! tooth brushes tooth pic's razor blades i would clean with ! not now ! but any ways i had the surgery a wake due to my seizures risk's to go under ! it just makes your hand feel like it is so big ! they put up a curtain were you can not see and they pull down all the tendons from your shoulder and then sow you up and will put either put a half cast or a full cast on you ! love peace joy and happiness ! always michele

I had it really bad when i was first diagnosed about a year ago. I had it in both arms. I have not had much luck with these Dr's in WV.
I have low potassium and magnesium and i take supplements for this and when i feel numbness i take an extra dose of potassium and magnesium and i feel better.
