: My girlfriend is experiencing "tingling" and sharp pain in her hand and arm at night. She does do keyboard work although not much. Are there any suppliments we could try to suppress and effects. I was wondering if something like cod liver oil tablets that supposedly help joint problems etc would be a first step to solving the problem? Please post soon!! (she keeps waking up at night in pain)

I don't know too much about suplements other than the Vitamin B6 my first Dr gave, I was told to take 200 mg a day. unfortunately it didn't work for me. what does work is taking amitryptyline which takes a prescription to get. is she wearing a carpal tunnel splint/brace at night? that can also help. when I got my latest set of braces the hand therapist gave me a list of exercises to do. If you're interested I can get you a copy. also, some people get some relief from magnets.
