OT: does carptal tunnel ever really get to a point of being permanent nerve damage? Or can it always be reversed, no matter the length of time having suffered?

I was just wondering if anyone knew a definitive answer on this? Is there ever a point of no return for carpal tunnel sufferers? Where the median nerve is damaged beyond repair? Or is there always the possibility of alleviating tendon inflammation leading to lasting relief?


Thanks in advance!

Check out Dr. Sarno's work in this area. I had carpal tunnel, plantar fasciitis, should tendonitis, etc. Now I don't because of this guy.

Appreciate your reply. I am familiar with the work of Sarno.

My question is more geared towards the specific etiology of carpal tunnel. Through the mechanism of the inflamed tendons putting pressure on and tearing through the myelin sheath, can the median nerve become damaged beyond repair? Or should one have faith that there is always hope for healing?

When I had tendonitis in various forms I would ask the same questions and was always afraid of hurting myself to the point that I would be unable to do the things I want to do. I would treat my hands as though they are made out of glass when I had wrist pain. Dr. Sarno's stuff will provide you with a different story on the etiology on RSI's as compared to the medical community. I tried the medical community stuff for over 15 years with absolutely no relief. Now I am cured. I know you want a straightforward answer to your question, but I don't think you are going to get it here. I wish you the best!

Good luck!

You've probably tried B6 in higher doses - always worth a try for some 6-months.
