and I have been waiting for a diagnosis. I think it is carpal tunnel syndrome. The pain is crippling me and I wondered if anyone had any ideas on how I can curb the pain I am in? It is worse at night time. It feels as if someone is stabbing my hands with a knife.

I have to say that you're not going to get a diagnosis here, it could be anything from CTS to damage at C5. it seems likely that you are suffering some form of nerve pain and if that is the case then only an opiate (something like codeine) will alleviate the pain.

I have carpal tunnel syndrome. Wearing a wrist brace helps me. Usually I only need to wear it only at night.

The docs should give you something to stop that pain. Over the counter stuff may not be strong enough. But I wonder if putting them in cold water might help. It could reduce the nerve action.

Yes, I would say it is carpal tunnel. I have the same thing.

Ya may have to go to homeboy.com and get some vicodin. That will help ya with the pain.

I have several friends who have suffered in the same way as you and they have obtained wrist splints which they wear at night.

My mother had the same problem, but surgery was required to give her relief. It was the only option.l
