Bow string effect
I am a 65 year old amateur double bass player and I have had a condition in my left hand diagnosed as CTS for about 2 years (including nerve conduction tests). I used a splint for a while with some benefit, but have avoided other treatment because it is interfering with the natural design of my hand. I am worried that the lack of a ligament designed to hold my wrist together will affect my double bass playing irreversibly.
Report on non-surgical CTRAC treatment
I am a 54 year old male living in the Redbridge & Waltham Forest NHS region. I had suffered transient tingling in my left hand, following specific activities, for several years - but this was avoidable. I started to get persistent numbness and tingling in my left hand in December 2010 this got worse into January 2011. I was diagnosed with bilateral carpal tunnel lesions following nerve conduction and EMG tests (31-Mar-2011). I was sent a copy of the neuropysiology results and ran through the grading scheme you have on the website.
