what relief or cure is there for nerve damage in both hands?

Question

had this for about a year and hope theres a cure or relief for my hands and any help will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

There are nerve blocks but, if they don't use imageing when they do them it can be dangerous.
There is also something called a TENS unit (i have one for my RSD and it helps a lot). It is an electrotherapy device with led patches you attatch and adjust the flow of currant to aleviate your pain. Ask your Dr. to prescribe one for you. My insurance paid for mine.

Answer 2

I did some research on this and it sounds like you have carpal tunnel syndrome. According to the site below: "Carpal tunnel syndrome is a painful progressive condition caused by compression of a key nerve in the wrist. It occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the hand, becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist. Symptoms usually start gradually, with pain, weakness, or numbness in the hand and wrist, radiating up the arm. As symptoms worsen, people might feel tingling during the day, and decreased grip strength may make it difficult to form a fist, grasp small objects, or perform other manual tasks. In some cases no direct cause of the syndrome can be identified. Most likely the disorder is due to a congenital predisposition - the carpal tunnel is simply smaller in some people than in others. However, the risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome is especially common in those performing assembly line work." Other culprits are jobs like keyboarding, or sports like XC skiing, or other ones that put pressure on the wrists.

If it's mild, it can be relieved by OTC anti-inflammatories, like ibuprofen, and ice. Sometimes steroids are used. Treatment can be successful, but sometimes. it's progressive, so you should get treated ASAP. The longer you leave it, the worse it can get. Sometimes, surgery is necessary, but even that can be unsuccessful.

You can minimize further damage by taking rests from the activity that caused it and by wearing a splint of brace.

You may also have peripheral neuropathy, which just means "disease in the nerves of the extremities" (this can even include the face). According to the second site, the causes are many, including the same as carpal tunnel, but also diabetes or genetics. The treatment would be much the same.
