Hi

I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel 20 months ago. I had deep tissue
massage and acupuncture, did the exercises and retired early (at 55).
Doing okay until I broke my arm (radius) last Monday. The temp cast has
been pressing on my tunnel and seems to be aggravting a nerve(tendon) on
the inside of my arm, just above the wrist.
It's a sugar tong cast, so there is a gap and Ive tied to ease it a bit.
I get a new one on Tuesday. I think they will need to have a hole for the
carpal tunnel, but what about the area on the inside of the arm (just
above the inside of the wrist).

Carolyn
