Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by Brian Simonis

If you or someone else is not certain if it is carpal tunnel syndrome, a sort of "self test" may give a better idea.

Try bending your effected wrist forward and compressing it firmly from behind. Hold it for two or three minutes. If that brings on or aggravates the numbness, it probably is carpal tunnel.

While there are treatment options for this, such as Anodyne, Prolotherapy and FSM (Frequency Specific Microcurrent), the easiest way to treat this to take a 100 milligrams of vitamin B6 three times daily--but not just any kind. Opt for the "pyridoxal-5- phosphate," or P5P, form of vitamin B6. This is the activated form, that does not require enzymatic conversion.

If that doesn't work after several weeks, consider applying liquid vitamin B12 mixed with DMSO to the underside of the injured wrist several times daily for another few weeks. This is available by prescription or even easier, you can find a vitamin B12 by cream over the Internet.
