Treatment Questions / Re: Best way to treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
« on: July 16, 2013, 12:28:32 AM »
I have suffered with carpal tunnel for years.  I finally had surgery on my left to correct it and also a trigger finger problem.  It took care of the problem but I had complications and had to have 8 weeks of physical therapy after and it took months before I could even make a fist.  Needless to say I have not had the surgery on my right hand which is my main use hand,  so I am going to start using the cold wrap on that and see if that will give me some relief.   Also when I wear my wrist splint I bought at the drug store consistently, it does feel a lot better but makes it hard to type and do normal things.

Treatment Questions / Re: RE: torn meniscus, left knee

I have a TENS unit at home which I used for my carpal tunnel problem in the past.  Would this do the same thing as your product you recommend to bring better circulation, etc.?  I really don't want to spend another large chunk of change on something if my TENS unit would do the trick.
I did receive the cold wrap today and used it for several hours, changing the cold pack every half hour.  The cold feels great but it is hard to walk around with the wrap on.  I did it exactly like it shows but my knee cap doesn't stick up thru the hole and it is hard for me to get a solid fit, is this normal?

I just got my MRI results and I have a small tear in the meniscus on my left knee along with a lot of inflammation which has been so painful I have trouble walking or moving very well.  The doctor wanted to do injections of lubricant into my knee for five weeks to take down inflammation and help with healing and if that doesn't work, surgery.  I don't want the injections so told him I want to try on my own to get it to heal so have been using cold packs and elevating as much as possible.  I ordered your knee cold wrap and hope it arrives soon.  Do you think it can heal without shots and just by using the cold wrap you sell so I can avoid anything invasive?
