I’m a 25 year old female with carpal tunnel on both wrists, worse on my dominant right hand. I’ve been a barista for 6 years, which is what caused it, and now am in massage therapy school. The pain has flared up majorly lately, but your videos have been so helpful.
I'm a few months shy of 30 and I've had various intermittent tendonitis/CTS issues with my left arm/wrist for years (cause initially by RSI as a guitar player). Over the last 3y or so, my dominant right arm has far outstripped anything I ever felt in my left. Many days over the last 6-8 months were maddening, close to unbearable. I'm finally making some progress with treatment/specialist referrals but I can totally sympathize with the experience.
This was so helpful. I have carpel tunnel syndrome diagnosed. The position of my neck is the only thing that causes symptoms of numbness. The doctors want to skip directly to surgery. They didn't suggest any therapy, wearing a brace, or exercises. I kept telling them I believe my neck is the main cause. Without ever checking anything in my neck, they said you have carpel tunnel, you need surgery. I was left on my own to seek out these options. I'm so thankful for videos like this.
Hi Bob & Brad, I went to the urgent care yesterday & they had a intern student come to check. He was more in a hurry & very unprofessional. He was not able to address my questions nor my concerns. I wanted to get a doctors note for two weeks off from work. I have two jobs as a realtor & as a Beauty consultant at Target … where the management makes you work insanely with no human consideration. Instead, he wrote me a note saying only 18 boxes a day is suitable for me. Sooo disappointed. I learned a lot from your video so thank you so much. I hope in the future ppl who join medicine must remember why they picked that career and show passion & honest dedication.
After over 1-year of irritation, aggravating symptoms and numerous doctor visits with NO concrete diagnosis or understanding why my shoulder and wrist/hand were numb and tingling - I am incredibly grateful to your channel and information provided! I took this video to my doctor and said this is EXACTLY what I am experiencing!! Thank you so much for your helpful videos♥️
Love you guys....very informative. I would like to add...don't get discouraged if you don't get significant relief right away. You MUST be consistent in doing the stretches every day for up to several weeks/months before total relief. Also make sure you sleep correctly (on your side) with a pillow between your knees and neck supported and in alignment with your back. It took me several months and I am proud to say I am healed without surgery....totally off meds. I am continuing my stretches and to make sure I stay well, I have built up my core muscles to help support my healing as well as worked on my posture (it's not perfect, but I'm getting there). I had forward head posture, arthritis, and thoracic nerve syndrome....all fixed. My doctor who suggested surgery which involved removing thumb bones is very impressed with my healing! I'm over the moon to dodge surgery and thankful for all your help. Hoping this encourages your readers to keep at it. Stretching, good posture, healthy eating healthy, drinking plenty of water....and staying positive are key to good health! Oh...and watching you guys 😜

@@undrasmith1087 you need to know your insulin level. If your blood sugar is raised youve had poor blood sugar control from eating high carbohydrates. Its a matter of when not if. If youre worried theres a reason. I lost over 100 lbs doing a ketogenic diet which reverses type2 diabetes. Look up dr berry, dr boz, dr eckberg, dr berg. It will change your life! Its the best antiinflammatory diet. Shameless plug, I have a fb group called "keto for chronic disease management" to help people just like you. ✌
I watched this video a week ago. I have done the stretching of the shoulders with a scarf as shown and I'm blown away at the relief. Not only in my wrist and hands but I can actually move my head fully from left to right without pain, something I couldn't do after months of physio. Thank you both so much.
Working professionally in arts and writing. I just wanted to say thank you for this comprehensive video. That one exercise with the arm outstretched (palm facing the wall and neck bent) made a world of difference, it really did. It's great that you emphasised the importance of 'being a wimp' when it matters and that more pain =/= more gain so thank you for that. Using an arm brace, a strong balm for massaging, regular stretches, and lots of sleep and over the last couple days my grip is slowly returning, strength renewing. I'll be taking another week or so of rest just in case. To anyone else reading this, the worst thing you could do to yourself right now is to expect results quick. Give your body credit and trust that you will get better in good time. Try out the exercises gently (very very gently and slowly) and don't forget the importance of deep breathing as you do them. If you're emotionally overwrought and panicking you could hurt yourself further. Release the tension. Hydrate well, sleep deep (your body heals during deep sleep), and give yourself as much time as you can. You don't want to see incremental improvement and jump back into work as if you're all better, only to get injured again. You're going to be ok, medical procedure or no. Give yourself time.
@@pawsandpaintstudio Hey! Yes, it's all better. I've done some wrist exercises like squeeze ball therapy. (If you want, I can give you the product name) I'm always cautious though because I can feel it sometimes if I'm too aggressive with my left hand.
I tried doing the stretches as you were showing us, and it feels SO good. Imagine feeling better the very first time. Thank you for helping us. I will keep doing these.
As a musician (bass, Piano, guitar), I was pretty bummed when my wrists starting acting up despite paying attention to proper technique. This video has made me feel a little better and realize it's not the end of the world yet. My issues, most likely, are probably the result of my wrist position while I sleep as well as my job. I'm going to start stretching and just bought some braces to wear.
in the same position. As soon as I felt pain beginning I went and got a brace and now I just hope with regular stretching and some lifestyle changes I will not have to worry about losing my career
I'm a 74 year old guitar vocalist. In the past week, my wrist pain has increased, not fun. Luckily the pain is not constant. Funny the pain diminishes while playing a one hour gig. Is it mind over matter. THANKS for this video.
Okay. Here's my progress of my daily stretches. 1st week: It hurts after waking up and sometimes it feels like it kind of burning. Numb and tingly. Made a homemade splint consisting of a piece of cloth and plastic ruler that I wear most of the time. 2nd week: There's still some numbness and tingling after waking up and little to no pain after waking up. Took out the plastic ruler and just wrap a cloth on my wrist. 3rd week: Almost no pain and numbness after waking up, except when I accidentally sleep on the arm that has CTS. Still wearing the cloth as a splnt. Will only wear it before sleeping though. 4th week: No pain or numbness now. But still wearing the cloth splint Note: On the morning that this pain started, I immediately searched for home remedies.
@@colyd2315 The stretches that they showed here and massaging starting from my palm up to my shoulders. Also some Yoga poses that can ease your back. For the stretches, 5 repetitions per pose/stretch and when I noticed that the pain is lessened, it became 6 and eventually 10. (You don't want to strain it further so you start slow and steady.) Also, the symptoms haven't come back ever since it went away thanks to this video. And now, I stretch whenever I could to give my body a wake up call.
These guys are outstanding in what they do. I had three fingers on each had which were trigering. I watched one of their videos for this problem. Today none of those fingers are trigering! I still do the exercises to keep things flowing. Thank you so much for being the best at what you do.
Thank you Bob and Brad!!! You are making my life a whole lot easier to resolve pain and avoid any more surgery - Unless it is life threatening (and even then) I'll never have another surgery that could make things a lot worse. WE CAN HEAL without surgery!
This is exactly what I needed. I had really strong suspicion I have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, so I bought vertical mouse and started with some stretches and exercises. But only after this video I've discovered that my problem is not only in the wrist area, but also in my shoulder and neck. I've never connected those two problems. Now I can treat it properly. Thanks, guys!
This is so me too. My elbow has been hurting for the past 3 days im on the computer 16 plus hours a day non stop and I know I need to take better care of myself.
Seriously you guys are amazing!!! Great information and you make it easy to understand :) Does anyone else suffer from a feeling of "bruising" on the palm? When I wake up in the mornings it feels like my palm is bruised, no tingling or numbness, it just feels bruised and warm.
After watching this video I know my wrists, hands, and fingers are beyond help on my own. A couple of years ago my neurologist wanted me to get surgery before my carpal tunnel got to this point, but I felt that it wasn’t necessary then. I hope no one who has carpal tunnel ever gets to the point where I am.
I feel like you guys are so awesome because you're make us feel happier and in a good mood. It's like I forget about my pain and just enjoy watching you guys lol
Great demo on carpal tunnel. I am massage therapist for 20 years. I thought I had carpal tunnel but all your tests dont indicate I have it. I like the stretches though to help my clients and what to look for. I never realized the medial nerve starts so far up by the neck! Knowledge is power and I am excited to educate my clients on this topic to try and avoid surgery if possible. You guys are awesome!!!
Thank you guys so much. I’m 22 years old. I had to get carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand because I wasn’t able to sleep more than 2-3 hours at a time. My left hand isn’t as bad and this has been an excellent resource.
I do hair for a living. I have carpal tunnel in my left hand, I got a shot in my hand this past Friday and it did NOTHING. I ran across you guys and did the stretches and now I have SOME relief. Im going to start doing them before and after I do hair. Thank you! 💕
Thank you so much Dr. Brad & Dr. Bob I have been really struggling with carpal tunnel syndrome... It has been almost 3 months but since past couple of days the tingling sensation has been very frequent and strong.. this video has really helped me in a day more than the medicines and my doctor visits. You guys are awesome 🤗
After watching this few min video helped me work an 8 hour shift on the production line with little or no pain ! Thanks so much 🧑🏭 I weld replacement parts for John Deere and toro 😊🙏
I have had this since I was 50. I’m 74 now and wear tight knitted gloves to bed. It helps somewhat. Doing exercises for it now. Seems to be getting better.
I just had an upper extremity EMG today and the result is severe bilateral carpel tunnel. I believe my neck is the cause. I’m going to start all your suggestions today, can only help. Thank you both! ☺️
Have you had any x-rays or an MRI of your cervical spine, & did you have an EMG/NCS? I have bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome, bilateral cubital tunnel syndrome & severe cervical radiculopathy where the median nerve is impinged from the cervical spine to both wrists. The MRI shows that there are very few nerve signals getting past my spinal cord at C5-C6. This is beginning to cause atrophy of muscles at the base of my thumbs & in both biceps.
@@barankarpat3327 You probably should start with getting a referral from your PCP for MRIs of your cervical spine. He will most likely either order the test himself, or refer you to an orthopedic specialist. You probably will want to start with a referral to a doctor that specializes in the spine, but you may be referred to an "arm & hand" ortho specialist, a "shoulder" ortho specialist, or all three (sigh). Do some research into whether these doctors communicate with each other to help you get the most accurate diagnosis. Like me, you may have multiple issues that require multiple approaches. Don't forget you can always get a 2nd opinion. Always take a reliable person with you to appointments to act as your "scribe" & help you remember things to ask the doctor(s). Prepare ahead of time to save time when you get there. Do you have shoulder pain, & does your pain affect one side of your body, or both sides?
Thanks a tonne. I will try those exercises, as I just developed it today, in my 62nd year of my life, Regards from Antonio, Goa the state of India. I will keep you updated.
You guys give me so much hope. Thank you guys so much. I just heard about carpal tunnel syndrome a week ago when my doctor diagnosed me with it. He said I may need a cortisone shot in both wrists (yes, it’s on both sides) if not surgery. I told my physical therapist and he gave me a list of exercises to do to help it. Some of which you demonstrate. I hope I don’t need to have surgery with these exercises. Thank you guys so much.
Thanks this explains my pain, I am a seamstress and spend 8-10 hrs a day hunched over a sewing machine or hauling heavy wedding gowns around the sewing room. I will try your stretching exercises as I have almost constant tingling in my thumb & adgaisant two fingers
Thanks for the info, I've been doing yoga/deep stretching for many years but that stretch you demonstrated was tight and e ven a little painful for me. That tells me its an area that needs attention. I used to think I had carpal tunnel but am suspecting that its the nerve in the neck. Can't wait to add this stretch to my reperatiore!
I am a musician, I play hand drumming and I started feeling tingling on my wrist, I like your videos and right away look for you, am going to start this stretching exercises and will let you know thanks for your help.
I am still using my braces every night. I will tell you that these work. Less and less tingling through out the day. I went to bed one night and was able to sleep about 5 hrs and woke up to just a little pain so I put the braces back on. But they make a world of difference.
@@hippysheep1023 something like this is what we recommend. Basically you need something that will immobilize your wrist especially at night. Hope this helps! www.amazon.com/Night-Wrist-Sleep-Support-Brace/dp/B074MKSSHK/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=comfy+brace+wrist+brace&qid=1597459723&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFaMllPVTRSSzZPN0cmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTAyOTI4NjIzTUtTUTAxNjcwUFg4JmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA0Mzc4NDczRFNRTFU0QTM1N1ExJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
Fantastic session guys! my wife just had the operation today but I wish I/we had watched this earlier. This was a very clear and thorough explanation for me! From what you've said I'm sure she has issues from her shoulders as well. I'll get her to watch it too!! Thanks again. Keep do what you're doing please!
It took me 3 months to find out that the issue was from my shoulder and this video explained and helped in just under 10 minutes... Not completely recovered but has helped reduce the tingling effect
I’m happy that you’re informing about those physical tests. Because I have done those and my doctors are not patient enough to wait through 5 seconds let alone 60.
Turned 50 and starting to hurt a bit. Thank you guys for helping my knee, you videos worked for dislocation. Now I have a tingling in hand. 17 years or office typing will do that.
I have this diagnosed in one side and it causes excruciating stabbing, cutting, digging nerve pain in my thumb. Amitryptiline has helped a lot and the brace at night stops flare ups. I also get a stabbing pain in my armpit that travels into the palm of my hand. I'm going to try those stretches and see if it improves. Thank you for putting up these videos. It's a huge help during this pandemic too when seeing a physio isn't easy. Your exercises have helped my arthritic knee, my episodes of bursitis and hopefully my arthritic hip will improve soon too. You do make a huge difference.
Thank you to you both for this free advice and expertise on carpel tunnel. Very informative and the stretching really helps ease some of the pain. Thank you
Wow. Thank you. None of those arm stretches i ever do. That was a very easy technique to manage daily. Thank you. I have severe carpal tunnel in both hands. So bad it limits my ability to do things. The muscle between my thumb and index finger in both inside and outer side are getting too big like it is swollen, and it is hard for me to drive, to hold on thing for a long time, even to hold a knife when preparing food. My hands both get so stiff and numb...it hurts and bothers me like my hand with my wrist and forearm feeling numb as if it is not breathing at all. This exercises im sure will help. Though with my severity, it will take a lot of time before i will eventually see some improvement. The thing is, my hands are always busy with work and chores that it barely gets to rest.
@@jezreelreyes4994 hi. I was scheduled for surgery for both hands few months ago but due to my potassium being too unstable. I couldn't get it yet. I am currently under the care of a Nephrologist.
Oh my gosh thank you so much I thought I had cts but the neck pain is what I think is causing my hand pain because I’ve had pain on the left side of my neck, the left side of my arm, and then pain and weakness in my left hand as well. Thank you so much
Thanks for the info. Already had my left hand surgery, now my right hand is acting up. Thanks to this video you explained it so that I may be able to avoid surgery with exercise.
Awesome advice! I have 3 questions: 1). Is neck, shoulder, arm and/ or hand massage good for CTS? 2). Is CTS permanent, or is there something you can do to reverse it’s appearance in your life! 3). Have you found that cell phone usage has increased issues pertaining to CTS, causing it? Thank you so much!
Hey guys, great channel, just come across your channel, I'm a late 30s guy bodybuilder and get a lot pain in my wrists and elbows, just great tips and keep up the great work
You two are so helpful. Twice I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome, through never conduction studies. I have had it over 30 years. At this point it happens even when I am sleeping with braces on my wrists. The pain even pops up when I am swimming. I am afraid of surgery, since I do and sell art and craft work, at shows and online. I also have neck pain from disc problems and scoliosis. I am trying to avoid surgery; however, the carpal tunnel pain has become constant. I am a retired psychotherapist, and would like to engage in writing a novel. The time then spent on the computer, probably would increase the pain in my hands.
If I could cry- I would be crying last night & today I have traumatic carpal tunnel Saw a hand specialist 5 yrs ago& he injected it- relief for four years Now extreme pain - numb & tingling. I do have muscle wasting- I've been dx. 20 yrs ago past a car accident So much wrist pain but no swelling & Dr looked at me strangely. But I also had multi herniated discs - scoliosis -nerve damage etc so they tried to treat everything w some pain meds& pt.- I was good all these years- now I'm in severe pain- can't concentrate- back tomorrow
hey guys me again! lol as I've said before I've got rheumatoid arthritis but I've had carpal tunnel syndrome for 20 years, I had the surgery on right hand a few years back and that led to my Ra diagnosis! I'm not allowed surgery for the left as I'm not well enough now. it's a frustrating condition as a single mum I had years struggling to make breakfast and brush my daughter's hair etc.
chinookvalley sorry to hear that hun do you have osteoarthritis or rheumatoid? Honestly I've become so incapable across my whole body that you would think the hands were the least of my worries but in fact it's the bit that bothers me the most! Being unable to stand/walk/drive etc would be much more acceptable if I could craft with my hands, I do try on a good day and I've learnt a few things I can do, it just all takes more time and plenty of aids and adaptions x

I have carpal tunnel have had it for twenty years and about five years ago I had the surgery on my right hand. Two years after that I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and I haven't been well enough nor is there much point in having the surgery on my left hand as the RA has taken over
I quit racing motorcycles in 2010 because my hands go numb while riding. I saw a neurologist on the 1st and verified i have severe CTS. It's more than time to fix it.
I am a housecleaner. That’s my profession. And I’ve noticed when I have really big jobs it’s worse at night and wakes me up and I can’t sleep. Thank you for these tips I’m going to try them. Call
Women who wear a bra might want to try one without straps that compress the nerves between the neck and the shoulder...it's cured me and a number of my friends from carpal tunnel syndrome
Wow I never thought about this but I did notice it or do notice it now when I think back about wearing a strapless bra. Good to know but I just had surgery today.
Once it heals and feel that's it not an issue. Can I left weights at the gym and do some moderate exercises while maybe using a support sport wrist? How long does it usually take to heal I'm in my mid 20's Thanks for your time!
I managed to get carpal tunnel when I was 16 on both hands. As soon as improvement started with my O.T. I had to stop going because of COVID-19 self-isolation and my symptoms immediately got worse and basically put me back at square one. This video helped me greatly thank you
Did these exercises actually make you lose your symptoms completely cause I am also 16 and I have been having it for a few weeks now, mainly when I play video games. I just want to know if it really works or not
The Hate Commenter Yes these did. I did a combination of Median and lunar nerve glides. Five reps three times a day for three weeks or so, and my symptoms were completely gone. Make sure to keep on doing nerve glides and not do the same thing that made you get carpal tunnel in the first place or you’ll just be back at square one again.
Juli C I’d go to an occupational therapist as soon as possible because they specialize in carpal tunnel and things of the sort. Go get help as soon as possible because if you don’t it’s just going to get worse. My advice: If it hurts near your elbow it’s tennis elbow and not carpal tunnel and the nerve glides are different so search up tennis elbow nerve glides instead and get tennis elbow braces. If it’s near your wrist/thumb it’s carpal tunnel. Do your exercises every single day because that’s the only way you’re gonna get better. Work on your posture, that can cause a lot of problems. Look up how to properly type on a computer if you have carpal tunnel. If your wrist starts hurting, stop what you’re doing and try to find what’s causing the pain and avoid doing the thing that causes the pain. Get wrist braces, they’re a game changer.
I get symptoms thatwake me up from deep sleep every night to the point where I only sleep approx 3 hrs. a night. My arms muscles feel like they are being pulled and the nerves pulsate severely. Driving me crazy.
I have nerve compression from playing too much fricking Among Us. I quit mobile gaming 2 months now and I'm still left with numbness in use. Thanks Bob & Brad for your help!
I have it in my right hand and I'm only 23! Didn't realize the average age was much older. I've had it for a year and got it because I play guitar. My right hand technique has diminished a great deal in that time. For example all of my fingerpicking skills were lost. I can barely position my hand to do so. What's worse is I can't even hold a pick let alone use it. (Which is depressing considering that right before I got the syndrome I obtained these beautiful stone guitar picks.) What I find interesting is that I have heard that guitar players typically get it in the LEFT or the fretting hand and not the right. But I'm going for a consult with my surgeon tomorrow, and am experiencing pain as I'm typing so...wish me luck!
Hey, i'm 22 and have all symtoms like u. I'm curious about ur sergery, how are u now? how much time we need untill get well etc.Please write me back,thx.
Same. Trouble is with the Right hand (pick hand). It is now nearly impossible to rotate my right wrist to bring a pick across the strings. It doesn't hurt that much, it just feels like I don't have control over that motion. Anyone made any progress?
Sometimes pain in my body brings me to tears. You guys are my lifeline and I really mean that. You have taught me so much. Thank you.
I can feel your emotions

It's great that you emphasised the importance of 'being a wimp' when it matters and that more pain =/= more gain so thank you for that.
Using an arm brace, a strong balm for massaging, regular stretches, and lots of sleep and over the last couple days my grip is slowly returning, strength renewing. I'll be taking another week or so of rest just in case.
To anyone else reading this, the worst thing you could do to yourself right now is to expect results quick. Give your body credit and trust that you will get better in good time. Try out the exercises gently (very very gently and slowly) and don't forget the importance of deep breathing as you do them. If you're emotionally overwrought and panicking you could hurt yourself further. Release the tension.
Hydrate well, sleep deep (your body heals during deep sleep), and give yourself as much time as you can. You don't want to see incremental improvement and jump back into work as if you're all better, only to get injured again. You're going to be ok, medical procedure or no. Give yourself time.
I'm 32, I have this in my left hand. I hate it so much and it can bring to tears to how painful it is!
You feeling better?!
@@pawsandpaintstudio Hey! Yes, it's all better. I've done some wrist exercises like squeeze ball therapy. (If you want, I can give you the product name) I'm always cautious though because I can feel it sometimes if I'm too aggressive with my left hand.
I tried doing the stretches as you were showing us, and it feels SO good. Imagine feeling better the very first time. Thank you for helping us. I will keep doing these.
As a musician (bass, Piano, guitar), I was pretty bummed when my wrists starting acting up despite paying attention to proper technique. This video has made me feel a little better and realize it's not the end of the world yet. My issues, most likely, are probably the result of my wrist position while I sleep as well as my job. I'm going to start stretching and just bought some braces to wear.
I play drums and my fingers are starting to hurt and my forearm too tbh so that’s a bummer
in the same position. As soon as I felt pain beginning I went and got a brace and now I just hope with regular stretching and some lifestyle changes I will not have to worry about losing my career
I'm a 74 year old guitar vocalist. In the past week, my wrist pain has increased, not fun. Luckily the pain is not constant. Funny the pain diminishes while playing a one hour gig. Is it mind over matter. THANKS for this video.
19 here, my right hand started to hurt and become numb/tingly a few days ago. Hopefully I follow through these exercises and the pain will go away.
Please respond. How are you now?
Same here I’m 19 too and all of a sudden my right hand started to hurt feel super weak and achy
Okay. Here's my progress of my daily stretches.
1st week: It hurts after waking up and sometimes it feels like it kind of burning. Numb and tingly. Made a homemade splint consisting of a piece of cloth and plastic ruler that I wear most of the time.
2nd week: There's still some numbness and tingling after waking up and little to no pain after waking up. Took out the plastic ruler and just wrap a cloth on my wrist.
3rd week: Almost no pain and numbness after waking up, except when I accidentally sleep on the arm that has CTS. Still wearing the cloth as a splnt. Will only wear it before sleeping though.
4th week: No pain or numbness now. But still wearing the cloth splint
Note: On the morning that this pain started, I immediately searched for home remedies.
@@theslightlytiltedcat hey! what's your full routine of stretches? just started getting symptoms over here :/
@@colyd2315 The stretches that they showed here and massaging starting from my palm up to my shoulders. Also some Yoga poses that can ease your back.
For the stretches, 5 repetitions per pose/stretch and when I noticed that the pain is lessened, it became 6 and eventually 10. (You don't want to strain it further so you start slow and steady.)
Also, the symptoms haven't come back ever since it went away thanks to this video. And now, I stretch whenever I could to give my body a wake up call.
These guys are outstanding in what they do. I had three fingers on each had which were trigering. I watched one of their videos for this problem. Today none of those
fingers are trigering! I still do the exercises to keep things flowing. Thank you so much for being the best at what you do.
Thank you Bob and Brad!!! You are making my life a whole lot easier to resolve pain and avoid any more surgery - Unless it is life threatening (and even then) I'll never have another surgery that could make things a lot worse. WE CAN HEAL without surgery!
This is exactly what I needed. I had really strong suspicion I have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, so I bought vertical mouse and started with some stretches and exercises. But only after this video I've discovered that my problem is not only in the wrist area, but also in my shoulder and neck. I've never connected those two problems. Now I can treat it properly. Thanks, guys!
This is so me too. My elbow has been hurting for the past 3 days im on the computer 16 plus hours a day non stop and I know I need to take better care of myself.
Seriously you guys are amazing!!! Great information and you make it easy to understand :) Does anyone else suffer from a feeling of "bruising" on the palm? When I wake up in the mornings it feels like my palm is bruised, no tingling or numbness, it just feels bruised and warm.
Thanks guys....again. Whenever something in this old jalopy breaks down, I head on over to Bob & Brad.
No, I'll never get bored while watching you guys!
Much thanks & love to you both.
I can't believe how knowledgeable I've become from watching these videos! Thanks for taking the time and effort to create & post these.
After watching this video I know my wrists, hands, and fingers are beyond help on my own. A couple of years ago my neurologist wanted me to get surgery before my carpal tunnel got to this point, but I felt that it wasn’t necessary then. I hope no one who has carpal tunnel ever gets to the point where I am.
I feel like you guys are so awesome because you're make us feel happier and in a good mood. It's like I forget about my pain and just enjoy watching you guys lol
Great demo on carpal tunnel. I am massage therapist for 20 years. I thought I had carpal tunnel but all your tests dont indicate I have it. I like the stretches though to help my clients and what to look for. I never realized the medial nerve starts so far up by the neck! Knowledge is power and I am excited to educate my clients on this topic to try and avoid surgery if possible. You guys are awesome!!!
Thank you guys so much. I’m 22 years old. I had to get carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand because I wasn’t able to sleep more than 2-3 hours at a time. My left hand isn’t as bad and this has been an excellent resource.
I do hair for a living. I have carpal tunnel in my left hand, I got a shot in my hand this past Friday and it did NOTHING. I ran across you guys and did the stretches and now I have SOME relief. Im going to start doing them before and after I do hair. Thank you! 💕
Cortisone actually take 1 to 2 weeks to fully kick in, it's not instant
Thank you so much Dr. Brad & Dr. Bob I have been really struggling with carpal tunnel syndrome... It has been almost 3 months but since past couple of days the tingling sensation has been very frequent and strong.. this video has really helped me in a day more than the medicines and my doctor visits.
You guys are awesome 🤗
After watching this few min video helped me work an 8 hour shift on the production line with little or no pain ! Thanks so much 🧑🏭 I weld replacement parts for John Deere and toro 😊🙏
I have had this since I was 50. I’m 74 now and wear tight knitted gloves to bed. It helps somewhat. Doing exercises for it now. Seems to be getting better.
I just had an upper extremity EMG today and the result is severe bilateral carpel tunnel. I believe my neck is the cause. I’m going to start all your suggestions today, can only help. Thank you both! ☺️
Have you had any x-rays or an MRI of your cervical spine, & did you have an EMG/NCS?
I have bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome, bilateral cubital tunnel syndrome & severe cervical radiculopathy where the median nerve is impinged from the cervical spine to both wrists. The MRI shows that there are very few nerve signals getting past my spinal cord at C5-C6. This is beginning to cause atrophy of muscles at the base of my thumbs & in both biceps.
@@MsJudi54I have the same problem all over my neck and wrist I don’t know what to do?
@@barankarpat3327 You probably should start with getting a referral from your PCP for MRIs of your cervical spine. He will most likely either order the test himself, or refer you to an orthopedic specialist.
You probably will want to start with a referral to a doctor that specializes in the spine, but you may be referred to an "arm & hand" ortho specialist, a "shoulder" ortho specialist, or all three (sigh).
Do some research into whether these doctors communicate with each other to help you get the most accurate diagnosis. Like me, you may have multiple issues that require multiple approaches. Don't forget you can always get a 2nd opinion. Always take a reliable person with you to appointments to act as your "scribe" & help you remember things to ask the doctor(s). Prepare ahead of time to save time when you get there.
Do you have shoulder pain, & does your pain affect one side of your body, or both sides?
Thanks a tonne. I will try those exercises, as I just developed it today, in my 62nd year of my life, Regards from Antonio, Goa the state of India. I will keep you updated.
You guys give me so much hope. Thank you guys so much. I just heard about carpal tunnel syndrome a week ago when my doctor diagnosed me with it. He said I may need a cortisone shot in both wrists (yes, it’s on both sides) if not surgery. I told my physical therapist and he gave me a list of exercises to do to help it. Some of which you demonstrate. I hope I don’t need to have surgery with these exercises. Thank you guys so much.
Did you get better?
I love these guys!! Thank you, thank you Bob + Brad for posting such great info!!! You are helping so many people get relief. :)
Thanks this explains my pain, I am a seamstress and spend 8-10 hrs a day hunched over a sewing machine or hauling heavy wedding gowns around the sewing room. I will try your stretching exercises as I have almost constant tingling in my thumb & adgaisant two fingers
Thanks for the info, I've been doing yoga/deep stretching for many years but that stretch you demonstrated was tight and e ven a little painful for me. That tells me its an area that needs attention. I used to think I had carpal tunnel but am suspecting that its the nerve in the neck. Can't wait to add this stretch to my reperatiore!
I am a musician, I play hand drumming and I started feeling tingling on my wrist, I like your videos and right away look for you, am going to start this stretching exercises and will let you know thanks for your help.
I am still using my braces every night. I will tell you that these work. Less and less tingling through out the day. I went to bed one night and was able to sleep about 5 hrs and woke up to just a little pain so I put the braces back on. But they make a world of difference.
what kind of brace? there are so many kinds theyre peddling
@@hippysheep1023 something like this is what we recommend. Basically you need something that will immobilize your wrist especially at night. Hope this helps! www.amazon.com/Night-Wrist-Sleep-Support-Brace/dp/B074MKSSHK/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=comfy+brace+wrist+brace&qid=1597459723&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFaMllPVTRSSzZPN0cmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTAyOTI4NjIzTUtTUTAxNjcwUFg4JmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA0Mzc4NDczRFNRTFU0QTM1N1ExJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
@@hippysheep1023 my doctor told me to get a cocked splint which basically pushes your wrist up with a piece of metal and it helps at night
Fantastic session guys! my wife just had the operation today but I wish I/we had watched this earlier. This was a very clear and thorough explanation for me! From what you've said I'm sure she has issues from her shoulders as well. I'll get her to watch it too!! Thanks again. Keep do what you're doing please!
It took me 3 months to find out that the issue was from my shoulder and this video explained and helped in just under 10 minutes... Not completely recovered but has helped reduce the tingling effect
I’m happy that you’re informing about those physical tests. Because I have done those and my doctors are not patient enough to wait through 5 seconds let alone 60.
Thank you both. Helping others here is
Such a blessing
Turned 50 and starting to hurt a bit. Thank you guys for helping my knee, you videos worked for dislocation. Now I have a tingling in hand. 17 years or office typing will do that.
These guys are awesome and actually care..
Extremely helpful videos. As a whole, this channel is a real service to society.
So glad that I found you guys
Thats why chin tucks werent helping me for one month this exercise gave me instant relief actually
Doctors Bob and Brad you are indeed the best 💖 thank you!
This was very informative. Will start on this right away! Thanks
Thank you so much I feel so much better mentally . I was so scared
I love how you guys explain the anatomy. It gives me better comprehension of what my body is doing when I do the stretches. Thanks guys!
LOVE you guys! Twice, two different problems, SOLVED by this channel and you two amazing guys. Thanks.
I've learned so much by watching this.
Very worthwhile.
Thank you!
these stretches feel so good, thank you.
I have this diagnosed in one side and it causes excruciating stabbing, cutting, digging nerve pain in my thumb. Amitryptiline has helped a lot and the brace at night stops flare ups.
I also get a stabbing pain in my armpit that travels into the palm of my hand.
I'm going to try those stretches and see if it improves. Thank you for putting up these videos. It's a huge help during this pandemic too when seeing a physio isn't easy. Your exercises have helped my arthritic knee, my episodes of bursitis and hopefully my arthritic hip will improve soon too. You do make a huge difference.
Thank you so much for the clear information and exercise taught .God bless you both
Glad it was helpful!
This channel is wonderful. Thank you so much for your help!
Thank you to you both for this free advice and expertise on carpel tunnel. Very informative and the stretching really helps ease some of the pain. Thank you
Wow. Thank you. None of those arm stretches i ever do. That was a very easy technique to manage daily. Thank you. I have severe carpal tunnel in both hands. So bad it limits my ability to do things. The muscle between my thumb and index finger in both inside and outer side are getting too big like it is swollen, and it is hard for me to drive, to hold on thing for a long time, even to hold a knife when preparing food. My hands both get so stiff and numb...it hurts and bothers me like my hand with my wrist and forearm feeling numb as if it is not breathing at all. This exercises im sure will help. Though with my severity, it will take a lot of time before i will eventually see some improvement. The thing is, my hands are always busy with work and chores that it barely gets to rest.
Just wondering How are they doing as of now?
@@jezreelreyes4994 hi. I was scheduled for surgery for both hands few months ago but due to my potassium being too unstable. I couldn't get it yet. I am currently under the care of a Nephrologist.
@@janeacusar damm sorry to hear that, hopefully you get it soon, quick question did any of the exercises work out for you? If so which ones? Thank you
@@jezreelreyes4994 My case is just bad. I meant it temporarily relieves the pain, so in some ways it does.
Thank you guys so much for the video, it helped me out so much
Thank God for the 2
Oh my gosh thank you so much I thought I had cts but the neck pain is what I think is causing my hand pain because I’ve had pain on the left side of my neck, the left side of my arm, and then pain and weakness in my left hand as well. Thank you so much
You are so welcome! Glad that we could help!:)
Thanks for the info. Already had my left hand surgery, now my right hand is acting up. Thanks to this video
you explained it so that I may be able to avoid surgery with exercise.
Thanks so much. Very practical approach and so careful advising the slow and gentle approach. ☀️😎🎼
Awesome advice!
I have 3 questions:
1). Is neck, shoulder, arm and/ or hand massage good for CTS?
2). Is CTS permanent, or is there something you can do to reverse it’s appearance in your life!
3). Have you found that cell phone usage has increased issues pertaining to CTS, causing it?
Thank you so much!
I JUST turned 55 and this just came over me... literally at the same time.
This was so insightful and helpful. Thank you for making this resource and information available to everyone!
Hey guys, great channel, just come across your channel, I'm a late 30s guy bodybuilder and get a lot pain in my wrists and elbows, just great tips and keep up the great work
You guys are amazing thank you so much!!! Gracias!
You two are so helpful. Twice I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome, through never conduction studies. I have had it over 30 years. At this point it happens even when I am sleeping with braces on my wrists. The pain even pops up when I am swimming. I am afraid of surgery, since I do and sell art and craft work, at shows and online. I also have neck pain from disc problems and scoliosis. I am trying to avoid surgery; however, the carpal tunnel pain has become constant. I am a retired psychotherapist, and would like to engage in writing a novel. The time then spent on the computer, probably would increase the pain in my hands.
Thanks a lot from the bottom of my heart ♥️
If I could cry- I would be crying last night & today
I have traumatic carpal tunnel
Saw a hand specialist 5 yrs ago& he injected it- relief for four years
Now extreme pain - numb & tingling.
I do have muscle wasting- I've been dx. 20 yrs ago past a car accident
So much wrist pain but no swelling & Dr looked at me strangely. But I also had multi herniated discs - scoliosis -nerve damage etc so they tried to treat everything w some pain meds& pt.- I was good all these years- now I'm in severe pain- can't concentrate- back tomorrow
Good job guys you guys are great…God bless
hey guys me again! lol as I've said before I've got rheumatoid arthritis but I've had carpal tunnel syndrome for 20 years, I had the surgery on right hand a few years back and that led to my Ra diagnosis! I'm not allowed surgery for the left as I'm not well enough now. it's a frustrating condition as a single mum I had years struggling to make breakfast and brush my daughter's hair etc.
My un-needed carpal tunnel led to arthritis, too! NO MORE SURGERY!
chinookvalley sorry to hear that hun do you have osteoarthritis or rheumatoid? Honestly I've become so incapable across my whole body that you would think the hands were the least of my worries but in fact it's the bit that bothers me the most! Being unable to stand/walk/drive etc would be much more acceptable if I could craft with my hands, I do try on a good day and I've learnt a few things I can do, it just all takes more time and plenty of aids and adaptions x
a painful disorder that is discomforting and sometimes there can be
numbness of the hands. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is at the forefront of the
new workplace and a significant health problem today.

I have carpal tunnel have had it for twenty years and about five years ago I had the surgery on my right hand. Two years after that I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and I haven't been well enough nor is there much point in having the surgery on my left hand as the RA has taken over
this runs in my family as well
I quit racing motorcycles in 2010 because my hands go numb while riding. I saw a neurologist on the 1st and verified i have severe CTS. It's more than time to fix it.
You guys bsolutely great !! First of all,, thanks for your fullfill positive energy🙏

You Guys are doing an excellent Job 👍
I am a housecleaner. That’s my profession. And I’ve noticed when I have really big jobs it’s worse at night and wakes me up and I can’t sleep. Thank you for these tips I’m going to try them. Call
Thanks guys! I needed these reminders now that my wrist pain has returned.
Women who wear a bra might want to try one without straps that compress the nerves between the neck and the shoulder...it's cured me and a number of my friends from carpal tunnel syndrome
Does this need to be strapless or a wider strap as to relieve pressure from one spot? Like a sports bra?
Wow I never thought about this but I did notice it or do notice it now when I think back about wearing a strapless bra. Good to know but I just had surgery today.
excellent content fellas
Once it heals and feel that's it not an issue. Can I left weights at the gym and do some moderate exercises while maybe using a support sport wrist? How long does it usually take to heal I'm in my mid 20's
Thanks for your time!
Great video. Thanks for additional Carpal Tunnel stretches and recommendations.
Hey people! I love Bob and Brad first❤ they are my physical therapist😂😂❤

The actual information on stretches and treatment begins at 6:00 if you want to skip the banter at the beginning......
Thank you for making this video.
I managed to get carpal tunnel when I was 16 on both hands. As soon as improvement started with my O.T. I had to stop going because of COVID-19 self-isolation and my symptoms immediately got worse and basically put me back at square one. This video helped me greatly thank you
Did these exercises actually make you lose your symptoms completely cause I am also 16 and I have been having it for a few weeks now, mainly when I play video games. I just want to know if it really works or not
The Hate Commenter Yes these did. I did a combination of Median and lunar nerve glides. Five reps three times a day for three weeks or so, and my symptoms were completely gone. Make sure to keep on doing nerve glides and not do the same thing that made you get carpal tunnel in the first place or you’ll just be back at square one again.
@@stealingyourbones0 ok sounds good thanks a lot 😁
Any more tips? I’m 16 too and feel scared cause its been some while, when should I see a doctor?
Juli C I’d go to an occupational therapist as soon as possible because they specialize in carpal tunnel and things of the sort. Go get help as soon as possible because if you don’t it’s just going to get worse.
My advice: If it hurts near your elbow it’s tennis elbow and not carpal tunnel and the nerve glides are different so search up tennis elbow nerve glides instead and get tennis elbow braces. If it’s near your wrist/thumb it’s carpal tunnel. Do your exercises every single day because that’s the only way you’re gonna get better. Work on your posture, that can cause a lot of problems. Look up how to properly type on a computer if you have carpal tunnel. If your wrist starts hurting, stop what you’re doing and try to find what’s causing the pain and avoid doing the thing that causes the pain. Get wrist braces, they’re a game changer.
you two are THE BEST

I have it in my right hand and I'm only 23! Didn't realize the average age was much older. I've had it for a year and got it because I play guitar. My right hand technique has diminished a great deal in that time. For example all of my fingerpicking skills were lost. I can barely position my hand to do so. What's worse is I can't even hold a pick let alone use it. (Which is depressing considering that right before I got the syndrome I obtained these beautiful stone guitar picks.) What I find interesting is that I have heard that guitar players typically get it in the LEFT or the fretting hand and not the right. But I'm going for a consult with my surgeon tomorrow, and am experiencing pain as I'm typing so...wish me luck!
Hey, i'm 22 and have all symtoms like u. I'm curious about ur sergery, how are u now? how much time we need untill get well etc.Please write me back,thx.

@@herahutajulu ur left hand is ok after the surgery? Do u advise the surgery and how many days u need for using ur hand after surgery?
Same. Trouble is with the Right hand (pick hand). It is now nearly impossible to rotate my right wrist to bring a pick across the strings. It doesn't hurt that much, it just feels like I don't have control over that motion. Anyone made any progress?
Hi Michael, How did your surgery turn out? I have CTS in both hands and surgery seems like the only solution.
