Teri, I asked two chiropractors about it, and they had no suggestions. I think there may be some kind of massage for it, but I haven't checked that out. When I meet with the surgeon, before I do anything else, I will ask what the success rate is of the surgery. The splints help quite a bit, so at least in my case it's not as urgent as it was before the splints.

Gina, have you checked with a chiropractor? If you find one that helps, please let me know. It's definitely worth checking into.

Gina, so hoping that the splints will help you!! Mine are cheap ones from Walmart, nothing special order, but they sure do help!! Please stay in touch so we can learn from each other.

Another thing that helps is an idea that I found on line. Elevating your hands on pillows, and resting your lower palms on cold packs when you go to bed. It reduces the inflamation and thus the pressure on the nerves. Hope this helps!!
