Thunder said:Go see a chiropractor. They typically have great success treating CTS. Look for one who specializes in Active Release Techniques as well.
Adamjs said:Just out of curiosity - how would a chiropractor be able to help his hands? I don't see the correlation.
Thunder said:Do you think chiropractors just work on backs?
Adamjs said:I don't even think that - but that's another story
I think a physiotherapist, anti-inflammatory drugs, or minimising repetitive movements by changing either grip, the range of motion, or the exercise for the target muscle for each repetition would be far better options - all of which have worked fine for me.
nmuriqi said:I've had some localized swelling around my wrist. Could this be CTS?...I think it originated from benching heavy and allowing the hand to bend too far back? I took some time off from benching to let the swelling go down and only did dumbells for a while. Now when i bench, i wear a strap and make sure to keep my wrist centered under the bar.
P-funk said:doesn't sound like CTS to me either. If you did it while benching it sounds like it may be something muscular....overstrained something? Especially if there is swelling. Throw some ice on it, maybe an anti-inflam too. Did you bang your wrist? is it a bruise?
