Rob,

I had my surgeries done (I had one hand at a time done) over 16 years

ago. I had fantastic results even back then.

Everyone reacts differently to surgeries or procedures. I can tell

you that even after 16 years I still have no pain in my hands and I

can even feel the type raised on a piece of paper. That is amazing to

me!

Hi, I'm new to the group and I joined mainly to commune with others about

chronic back (herniated disc) pain. But reading your message prompted me to say

that I had severe carpal tunnel syndrome pain that led me to surgery 8 years

ago. The surgery was botched and left bad scars - but that's another story.

Anyway, the pain returned in '06 and a year later I was back to where I started.

I purchased a Carpal Masseuse (don't remember from where) and it helped a lot. I

still use it on and off every month or so, but it really works well.

I just checked. They still have a website. carpal-masseuse.com Maybe it will

help.

I'll post another message about my back issues, and maybe somebody can help me

with my herniated disc problem. It doesn't seem to have a cure or even an

" acceptable " way to alleviate the pain. But more on that later.

Thanks,

Mar Zaniski
