Rio, can I ask how old you are and are you female? Sometimes severe hormone fluctuations can play a part...carpel tunnel = fluid in the wrists and hands...

Could also be as a result from RSI(Repetitive strain injury)......

I have carpel tunnel and tendonitis in both thumbs although it is worse in my right hand, the one I use most. Some days it is so bad, I cannot pick things up or write.....I strap my hand and wrist on those days.

It took 6 years for an awesome GP to finally diagnose me and he did it in minutes because he knew what symptoms to look for.....

Celery seed (in a capsule from health food shop) or celery juice is a diuretic which helps to expel excess fluid from the cells.....ipso facto, less pain in joints and tendons. Give it a go if you can for a month and see if it makes any difference. My doc who dx me put me on celery.

Has arthritis been ruled out?

Take good care,

Michah
