Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Or Tendonitis?

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a painful progressive condition caused by the compression of a key nerve in the wrist.

Tendonitis is literally inflammation of the tendon.

All I know for sure is my wrist and thumbs are killing me. I don't take pain medication so I've is my friend, I started wearing wrist braces at night to see if I could get this under control but each day is getting worse. I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome in 2001 by Mayo Clinic and have done great for last 10 years by changing habits and wearing my braces.

How do I tell or can I, if this is a tunnel issue or tendonitis??? Does anyone have any magic home remidies so I can get some sleep tonight??

Heck I hear ya!! I am still working on loosing 72lbs more lbs. struggle everyday. But my problem the opposite. I skip meal because my stomach always feels full and hate the feeling of being stuffed, so my body never knows when it will eat again. I started setting an alarm to remind me to eat. So far so good lost 8lbs last week.

You can do it!!
