Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and the Fear of Permanent Nerve Damage

Some of the first symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome are small pieces of numbness in the thumb and / or the first two fingers. People are concerned about this, but continue with their life and normal daily activities. When the numbness worse it is going to see that her doctor warned they risk permanent nerve damage.

Is that true?

To determine if this is true, we must answer two questions. Is there really damage to the nerves, and what exactly is permanentdoes this mean?

Carpal tunnel syndrome is actually damaging the nerve?

Three factors have happened for the normal person who uses their hands a lot and starts to get carpal tunnel symptoms of numbness and tingling

1st muscles and pull it tight to be constantly on their tendons.

2nd over time shrink Wraps, connective tissue and compressed.

3rd inflammation occurs, traps the fluid in the area.

These three factors to compress the nerve from a variety of directions. These cuts flow nerves. You get numbness and / or pins and needles.This does not mean that there is damage. This means that the nerve is pressed on.

Could theoretically, if the nerve was compressed long enough damage there, but I have on the people who worked for years to deafness, even a decade, and when we returned with the pressure off the nerves, full feeling came almost immediately.

When you step on a> Water hose, it slows or stops flowing, the nerves. What happens when your foot? When you step on the hose, it means that the hose is damaged? Permanently?

What exactly do doctors mean when they say, permanent nerve damage?

Doctors mean exactly what they say. They fear that you will have permanent nerve damage. It is my professional opinion that it is very wrong.

I have the impression that the doctors believe thatNumbness in the thumb and fingers is a serious problem. It is also my impression that they think that this can cause permanent numbness due to damage. I'm not sure exactly why that is.

One reason is because it seems that the doctors do not know how the problem that caused the deafness vice versa. The usual methods do not work, so the last resort is surgery. Which is technically the nerve to give more space. Transient.

What you should tell doctors that you are in dangerconstant pressure on the nerve that causes deafness.

And it's true, it can become permanent if you are not doing the right things to reverse the momentum that causes all the compression of the nerves. (And it's not all on the wrist.)

Deafness due to compression caused no damage. Certainly serious cases of extreme compression can, but that's not the case for the vast majority of people with normal everyday carpal tunnel.

Numbness comes from compression. And it is onlypermanent, as long as compression. You remove the compression and nerve flow returns.

I mean, have you ever stepped on a water hose and someone had to explain: "The water hose needs surgery or will have permanent damage!"
