Here are some things to consider. Hold the reins on cocktails. Alcohol is known to deplete the body of nutrients, especially the B vitamins, which are vital for preventing carpal tunnel syndrome. Drop those pounds. Many doctors have noted that people who lose weight sometimes also lose their symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Many doctors recommend B vitamins for carpal tunnel syndrome.
B-complex capsules often include all of the recommended vitamins. Take vitamin B 6 in amounts above 100 milligrams only under the supervision of your doctor. The author of five published studies that demonstrate the benefits of vitamin B 6 for CTS, Dr. Ellis contends that synovium swelling and inelasticity are caused by a B 6 deficiency. Dr. Ellis and Karl Folkers, D.Sc., Ph.D., professor and director of the Institute for Biomedical Research at the University of Texas at Austin, once healed 22 of 23 people with CTS just by giving them 50 to 300 milligrams of vitamin B 6 daily for at least 12 weeks. And a number of them had already undergone surgery without experiencing relief.
