Well the shock forces the arms and wrist to relax, I had it so bad the pain would keep me awake at night. The way I guess it works is the muscles are to tight or tense that the are inflamed its like walking around with a fist all the time, your forearm is in constant pain becasue the muscle is so tight, The shock forces them into a more relaxed state it works very well. I also dident just have carpal tunnel I also had tendites in both the fore arms. In those cases with both problums I would feel pain all the way up my arm into my shoulders but my forearms would lock up sometimes I couldent even open my hands, my hand would bend at the wrist and lockup. The other thing I find usefully is a homedics mouse pad with a built in massager.
well after working in a safeway bakery for 5 years I too had carpal tunnel and tendenites. Well to say the least they wanted to cut both wriest to slove this problum. The reason being they wanted me back at work in three months top. Well I decided no after talking with people that had it and were not happy with the results. I found around 65% unhappy with pain comeing back after time. I chose the treatment that would change my lifestyle and job. It took two years and alot of therpy to fix this, I wore braces on both wrists 24/7 for 1.9 years, as well as two vists weekly to a chiropractor the best thing he use to do is work my arms and shoulder then apply heat with electronic shock to stimulate the the over worked tendons and wrists four pads were put on one on each shoulder and one on each forearm. then 20 mintues of zapping and I would fall asleep everytime, the thing is it works them into a relaxed state. I use to feel like jelly when I was done but It worked. With a change of jobs I'll never bake again, Now I do service work for a banking company. Point is time heals with the right help and tools and possabilty change of jobs.
