my left hand is numb... Carpal tunnel?

[J-P]

yep it is a pain in the butt... you're sleeping habits will be altered permanently. It is very easy for it to come back once you have normal use back.

I used to be able to sleep with my hands behind my head. At BEST I can have them on my stomach and still sometimes wake up with the tingling.

#1 find an ergo setting that you are comfortable with and adjust it accordingly from time to time. Resting on your elbow will put strain on your shoulder.

I hope that helps a bit. You'll recover .. give it time

Sorry for your injury.

If you can get a splint for it (they sell cheapo ones in pharmacies), it will keep from stressing your wrist and give it time to heal.

An occupational therapist and/or hand therapist would be ideal, but...


Rest it as much as you can.

Feel better.
