Thread: Does this sound like Carpal Tunnel

I think a chiropractor can help with carpal tunnel.

I've had useful but not complete benefit from hand stretches prescribed by a specialist hand physio mentioned earlier.

Also taken Bromelain as suggested by Hughie but at the same time as other changes so its hard to know how much it helped.

GJ goes in for the ligament snip on the 22nd folks.

I'm sure we all wish him well.

He'll be needing tips on how to cope with one hand (the 'wrong' one).

Thanks for the thoughts Ern. The last time I went under the knife was ~22 yrs. ago, at the wife's insistence .

heh heh

This has been designed for hands-free shaving GJ.

Ideal really. If you start sweating with nerves it keeps you cool, and if you do get nicked the blood gets blown away from your face so you easily see how many stitches you'll need.

So is this before or after loosing the hands? Might be nose free after the shaving too!

Shaving's not the problem. The problem is about 93cm south of my nose and on the other side of my body. Your solution just scares the S#!& out of me, therein lies the predicament.

Addendum: Of course, this could be a solution to my hemorrhoid problem.

heh heh,

rubber gloves, disposable, are yr friend

: I wonder if work cover would stretch to a bidet?

Tip #2 ...

GJ, you'll prob find yrself for the 1st week with the paw wrapped in plastic and pointing to the roof when you take a shower.

Now we know yr a bit follicly challenged but a task will be how to measure out some shampoo and get it on the head.

So this is what you do.

Bottle upside down, nozzle resting on the pate.

Gentle squeeze and the moment you feel the cool goo, that shld just be enuff.

OTOH, TL's bidet idea may well work better.

You can imagine the drill

Just remember to flush first

Tip of the day, #3

Be sure yr carpal tunnel 'deroofing' contractor is qualified.

You don't want to wake up with a wired wrist.

Edit: suggest you inquire with an open-ended q'tn.

Asking if he/she has a Cert 1 in de-roofing may offend those who who've got Cert 3.

Pain killers kicking in nicely are they Ern?

On the other hand it could make keeping the mobile phone charged up a bit easier.

heh heh ...

there's an idea

do some bargaining GJ, like ..

the guy down the road will put in a mobile power pack for the same price, so can you beat it?

Edit: no, TL, as it happens. Mr Plastic Paw is beating up on me bigtime. Daytime meds no use. It's like bringing a baby home from the hospital: takes some time b4 you figure out its pattern, and you think you've got it sorted, but then the little sod changes. And you have to start again.
