Has anyone heard of this? I've searched everywhere and can't find anything on it. I was at the Dr and he was discussing my carpal tunnel surgery and ulnar nerve entrapment and he mentioned I have warfins syndrom when we brought the radial nerve into the picture. If you have heard of it please let me know.

Hello!
I'm sending this general note to as many people as possible to help so please forgive me. Work with a highly recommeded massage therapist as the whole thing is caused by muscles. These darn doctors are always working on the symptoms rarely the cause as they should.
It is a shame how doctors keep wasting people's time with such unnecessary pain. If they would learn how massage affects muscles which intern affects nerves and bones. Besides blood and air, muscles are the only things that move therefore cause roughly 80 % of the problems(15% bone, and 5% disease/illness) especially CTS. Please do not get surgery. Please do not get the cortizone shot . Please do not where the brace on your wrist which actually causes the forearm muscles to tighten even more which makes the condition worse so the doc gives medicine to turn off your sensory nerves while giving you fabulous side effects(lovely!) I know it is the doctor told you so that is why people do it and i do not blame you. You just do not know better.
Most of the time(70%) it comes from the pectorial muscles in your chest, then next usually is the scalene muscles deep in your neck, then next usually is the teres minor muslce on the back outside of your shoulder. A great massage therapist will work from the deep in the neck(front & back),work your shoulders & chest, down your arm to your fingers last (front and back).
Please do not put it off if you just got CTS(the sooner the better). Get a recommendation of a great massage therapist in your area(these sessions might be quite painful but it is worth it in the end, you are in such tremendous pain any way). Call a massage school they will usually know who is a great massage therapist( a highly recommended licensed massage therapist ). Make an appointment to focus only on your CTS. I helped a lot of people thru massage recover successfully.
