Thumbs up CTS is completely gone because of this..

I've been a tilesetter for 15 years and because of the constant motion of spreading mortar with my trowel, last year I found myself waking up in the middle of the night with that intense pins and needles feeling in my thumb wrist and two fore fingers. It gradually became extreme pain in my wrist and that meaty part of the thumb. Went to the doctor had all the tests and it was CTS. I had a month long wait to have a surgical consult. In that time I couldn't sleep, pain killers did nothing wrist splints did nothing, so I started looking around on the net. I found an article about a doctor in texas giving people injections of vitamin B6 and it was relieving their CTS. So I went to Walmart and bought 100mg caps of B6 pretty cheaply. I took three 100mg caps a day and wore the wrist splint at night, within two days the pain was gone! I quit wearing the splint at night after a week. I canceled my appointment with the surgeon and haven't had so much as a twinge since. I continue to take the B6, only two a day when I remember and haven't had any problems since. It worked for me so I thought I'd pass it on. Hope it works for you.

Re: CTS is completely gone because of this..

My Dr Did Recommend B6 Idid Take It For A While Imsorry To Say I Did Not Get Any Results. But Maybe Its Because Mine Was On Going For Over A Yr. I Guess Ifyou Take Care Of It Right Away The Vitamin Will Help.
Im Happy For You.

Re: CTS is completely gone because of this..

I didn't have any luck with Vit. B either. I tried it two separate times. The last time, my chiropractor was sure it was the cure for my CT symptoms. I tried it as he directed over a period of months and it didn't do a thing.

However, it does work for some people in alleviating their cts symptoms.

I USED TO USE B COMPLEX FOR PMS AND ALSO FOR ENERGY IT WORKED GREAT BUT IT NEVER HELPED ME FOR CTS.
