Carpal tunnel topics
Finger extensors
Do you think these would be beneficial at all Jeremy? I read somewhere that this can help alleviate carpal tunnel, not cure, but help. What are your thoughts?

Flaxseed Oil
Has anyone ever tried flaxseed oil for their carpal tunnel? There seems to be a study done on it and I have read a couple reviews on the Internet from a few individuals who have tried it. They’ve all said that it’s helped them somewhat. I was going to order some and try it myself but I figured I would come here and see if anybody else has either try to or has any opinions on it. Here is the study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5871162/#idm139929125430208...
Exercises for CT?
I was diagnosed back in September last year, but had symptoms presenting years before that. I'm waiting for surgery but it's gonna be a long wait because public health system... I've been using a splint using anti inflam gel and trying to minimise bad actions for wrist where possible but unfortunately I do a lot of computer work that aggreviates it. I'm also waiting to see if I can get an ergonomic keyboard/mouse paid for rather than out of my own pocket. I got put on lyrica last week which I'm not sure is helping yet but would like to do some exercises that could help it.

Artist becoming desperate
Hello, I'll try to keep the relevant information of this post concise.
How urgent is it?
Hi everyone,
Over the last year, I've had intermittent pain around my wrist, recently it has progressed to more severe pain and weakness. Last night it felt very tight, then my arm went numb. I had been researching and everything says to go see a doctor, but with everything going on in the work I only want to contact a physician if it's urgent. Basically, what I'm asking is will there be a difference if I call n in a month? Permanent wise.
Also note,
I can't rest my wrist at all. I am a student and it is exam period meaning lots of typing.
Thank you in advance.
Is there anything to be done?
Having had increasing problems of lack of sensation in my hands (particularly the right), increasing loss of strength and 'fumbliness' I had a nerve conduction test and then CTS in Nov 19. The plan was to have CTS on the left hand following recovery from surgery on the right.
