Greetings fellow board mates. My hubby has been diagnosed with carpal tunnel and we were wondering if the pain will get worse? He seems to be in a lot of pain..is it very painful?

Please help...any advice is most appreciated! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/frown.gif

everyone's pain is different,expecially since everyone can tolerate different levels. but yes, i would say it is painful,somedays it is worse then others. i wish him luck

Everyone's pain is different, So sometimes it can be painful that it makes it hard to do things and sleep sometimes. So the sooner you get treatment for the pain more likely you have won't nerve damage. Sometimes it helps to wear wrist brace(s) it helps with the pain at times and helps with sleep too. Just rest your hands when you can.

(P.S.)We all have to take of our hands,They are the only ones we have.
