Subject:Re: Carpal tunnel syndrome: all in your head? From:Jack DeLand <adamchar -at- CHAMBER -dot- ANN-ARBOR -dot- MI -dot- US> Date:Mon, 6 May 1996 19:08:23 -0400
I have gone to a chiro and to an injury specialiast (sports medicine very
big in Ann Arbor!).
It's not in your head, but not necessarily in your wrist either. The
problem is a nerve pinch in the elbow joint (for me anyway).
Traditional chiro will relieve the tension for a while, as will braces,
muscle relaxants, etc.
Personally, bourbon seems a nice cure - just soak the elbow in it until you
can place it in your ear, then you're cured!
