Helen. I really appreciate your reply. From what I understand, carpal tunnel is very similar to tarsal tunnel - except in the arms/wrist instead of the leg/ankle. Interesting that you wear wrist braces at night. I am bracing my ankle during the day and have less symptoms when wearing it. I never contemplated wearing it at night. Not knowing is frustrating! Thank you, Helen, for taking the time to respond. 🙂 jeannie

Jeannie, you’re very welcome! I do think they help me, maybe I should try wearing them during the day too! What is crazy is that I’ve read that exercising my hands/wrists also helps so that would seem the total opposite!🙄 I do both, and keep my fingers crossed (for exercise!) P.S. I was diagnosed with idiopathic SFN 3 yrs. ago and still wonder if my feet/hand issues are not a spine issue since I have degeneration/stenosis/scoliosis; my EMG’s were fine and no biopsy because my neuro felt she would treat me the same. (gabapentin) Since I would not consider any surgery and do P/T and exercise I’m ok with that for now. Helen
