I've got a Syndrome!

[Stubby]

I had carpel tunnel syndrome and that was fixed with day surgery .

reading the thread with interest as i've noticed over the last couple of years my left arm is giving me trouble..  only last month I think I've put my finger on the problem..

 

when i use my strimmer..  my left hand is getting vibes through the handle half way down the strimmer..  its got worse over the last couple of years, more noticeable these days..

 

thinking of a solution as i sit here, being prompted by reading the thread, perhaps some extra insulation on the handle.. wrap a bike tire round or similar.  perhaps time to buy a battery strimmer..

When mine was bad, tennis elbow/cubical tunnel syndrome thing, as I keep bees and they like to sting me.
I thought....well it’s painfull when they do sting and then it’s tender but not that painful and a bit swollen and numb at the same time.  A bit like when I sprained my ankle then got stung  there a few days later, [emoji362]
So I got my girlies to sting me, that was the hardest bit, to tell/show them here....sting me here....yes it hurt and yes it numbed it for two days. It worked for me, till winter came, and the bees were inside. No more bees [emoji31]
 
anyhow, I don’t know why it came , (tennis thing), but it took two years  (summers) of bee stings every few days, now it’s better..but I don’t konw if it really helped long term, but short term it work. I'm guessing  it was a combination...
 
Cheers,,, let  us know how you get on...[emoji106][emoji41]
 
 

The natural history of these things are to usually cure themselves in a year. Sounds like the bees prolonged it.
Surgery is the answer for cubital tunnel if time and physio no help. Steroid injections no longer used for tennis or golfers elbow as although work in short term increase relapse rate in long term...apparently

Better make sure it’s not the start of Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome.

 For some reason I thought that I was replying to Westphalians post, if I'd realised that I was responding to you, that probably would have been my first conclusion!
