Hi Dr. Joshua and staff

Long time no chat! Anyway I have a question for you regarding my Mom.

My mom Sally is a hairdresser and has been for years. She wants me to ask you if you have any suggestions regarding carpal tunnel.

Its mainly her left arm she gets tingling and pain down the ulna nerve and into the hand and fingers.

Heres the funny part her doctor couldn't find a problem in her left arm which is killing her. She does have 50% carpal tunnel in her right arm.

She wants to know what she can do besides having surgery. He did give her a pain medication im not sure of the name.

She has wrist bands the help her but it is hard to work with them on. She is going for physical therapy today.

Oh and also she has thoracic Outlet Syndrome I do too I had my first ribs removed in 2002 I dont know how much it has helped but im dong ok.

Do you think rib resection could help her? What are your thoughts?

Thank you for taking the time to read this, your awesome so is your staff!

Have a great day

Allison G

Before going under any sort of surgery just try proper oiling massage regularly. Along with it follow few light hand moments.
