Suggest Treatment For Carpal Tunnel In The Left Wrist

I think I may have carpal tunnel in my left wrist. I do have tingling in my fingers but one symptom confuses me. If I bend my fingers down towards my wrist my muscles cramp up. I can relieve the cramp by stretching my hand back open. Is that consistent with carpal tunnel.

Hello,
I have studied your case. Carpel tunnel patients usually do not develope spasm.It can be due to other causes. Spasm can be due to following causes.
1.Low salt in body- You may be having low salt in body.If you are taking BP medicines then chances are very high. So start taking salt in juices and lemonade whenever you develop spasm.
2.Low Calcium in body- take calcium and Vitamin D 3 regularly.
3.Cold temperature should be avoided and take hot water bath.
4.Check for serum B 12 estimation. Also start taking Vitamin B 12 daily.
I hope these steps will help you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
Thanks
