I met with a cousin today who just developed carpal tunnel syndrome in his right wrist. The symptoms are pain in wrist on movement that travels up to his shoulder. Worse with movements like turning a doorknob. He works on the computer all day.

Any Thoughts?

we need more info, personality, emotionals, mentals, aggrevations, feels better when, physical description of patient. etc.......homeopathy works on the totality of a person not on a particular ailment.

The spesific remedie for that is often causticum, but could also be others, like silicea, so give more info, can not say any on this little info.

Agreed. Also compare Ruta to the case. Find it helpful in many cases where induced by too extensive typing or use of mouse, when there is no other rheumatic or arthritic complaints.

You are probably right in over use through typing

BUT carpal tunnel syndrome is very often one of the first symptoms of an underactive thyroid which goes unrecognised untill much much later often after the person has had surgury on their wrists

Pat,
it seems that there are many roads leading to Rome and ALL of the roads leading to low thyroid...

Thanks all. I will gather more info when he returns from a trip but for now can tell you he is 49 years old, heavy set (most members of the family on that side are) but very healthy. Dark complected (Italian descent). Has pock-marks from bad acne as a teenager. The wrist pain is from computer (mouse) use. His mother had surgery for carpal tunnel a few years ago(she was a seamstress). I don't know what, other than resting it, makes it better or worse. He is very intelligent and respected in his field. He plays guitar and sings for a hobby.

Will gather more info later but appreciate first thoughts!

that point to phosphorus, try one dose 200, avoid coffe, coca cola, chocolate, and strong smells, start stopping coffe min four days before taking phosp.

Thanks GM!
