Numbness in finger tips

[Guest guest]

Bee, Back in september I wrote to you and asked if you had any

suggestions for a nerve problem I was having in my neck that radiated

down my arm. You suggested white willow bark,chiropractor or

massage. (I was afraid of the chiropractor since many years ago I

became dependant on chiropractic treatments needing adjustments 2-3

times aweek for 8 years. I recieved a miraculous healing and never

went back.) I tried the white willow bark with good sucess. I needed

it for about a week and then did not have the extreme pain. The

shoulder/neck has been getting steadily better. I no longer have

problems when I lay down etc. I still have some type of muscle

problem in the neck and my finger and thumb tips are constantly numb.

Do you think this is like carple tunnel syndrome. I did some message

searches and found that this diet cures carple tunnel. I am thinking

maybe I should invest in massage.

==>Pat, I'm glad you are getting steadily better. It can take time.

That's good you had great success with the white willow bark too.

==>Pat, your symptoms don't seem to be carpel tunnel, which is mostly

aching and weak wrists. I believe you have a pinched or damaged nerve

that connects to those areas. You could start with massages which

would stimulate nerves and get more blood flowing to those areas, but

I still feel a chiropractor would help more, or get accupressure or

accupuncture treatments. I had amazing results from accupressure

treatmeats done by my naturopath - he used electrodes instead of needles.

Let me know what you decide to do and how it works out for you.

Luv, Bee
