Ahhh welcome to my world. The longer you go, the worse it gets. Mine started after 5 years, I work 2 1/2 days a weeks now at year 21. About 7 years ago it got to be more than I could stand. Had to stop doing nails full time. First the tingling starts, then it goes up your arm, then your hand goes so numb it hurts (you can stick a pin in it and not feel it) by this time it is waking you up at night with numbness. Then it wakes you up at night with extreme pain, then it is everytime you pick up a file to work. I strongly suggest you get a immobilizing brace to wear at night. What I noticed with mine, is my hands would clench into fists kind of like a charlie horse but in your hands. I woke up so many times in tears it hurt so bad. Do stretches all day long.

Now last week the tingling started, left hand, up the arm. thinking, great, am I having a heart attach or what. Took some ibuprofen, and went away. All weekend the same. Then today it smacked me in the face, is this the beginning of the CT word, Carpal Tunnel? Okay you CT people, what are the stages, how long can I go? No way am I having surgery in the future. diana from indiana -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
