Mama Canceled Her Appointment with the Surgeon!

Mama’s Carpal Tunnel Is Gone, Thanks To My Melanie, My Massage Therapist!!

Just a little funny we found online, it's what I feel like doing if only I didn't have RA!

Most of you know by now I’ve been seeing a massage therapist to relieve my Fibromyalgia Pain, Melanie Boyd from WellnessNaturallymb.com. She has been my muscle knot terminator. Seeking and destroying the muscles knots that try to dodge her by slipping around, but she stays right on top of them. She is teaching me about letting go of my tightness in my muscles. This tightness could be causing my numbness in my hands.

My neurologist convinced me, from my EMG findings that I had the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome severely in my right wrist and mildly in my left wrist. He also explained to me that I had tendinitis in my left elbow. After hearing his finding from the EMG, I made my appointment with the surgeon who would perform the carpal tunnel surgery. Around the same time, I started seeing a new massage therapist who was able to press deep into my forearm muscles, releasing my nerves from the pressure they were under and I felt some numbness go away. At that point, I knew I was onto something, and I needed to see this through. I needed to see what she could do as far as help me relieve my numbness and pain from my carpal tunnel syndrome. By her deeply manipulating the tight muscles it released tight muscle pressing on these nerves that were causing the severe pain.

I actually canceled an appointment with my surgeon scheduled for last Monday. I’m blown away with the decrease in my Symptoms of Fibromyalgia that I’m not feeling thanks to Melanie. Each week, I feel more and more longer lasting results and less and less pain and numbness. Meaning, the muscles are starting to keep the new feeling of not being so tight. I’m relearning how to hold my hands and wrists properly for everything from steering my car to sleeping at night.

Now, I imagine I will need to continue my stretches and exercises for carpal tunnel as well as a maintenance therapeutic massage program of some sort (probably a monthly appointment) to keep my muscles from tightening back up once we finish the treatment. Melanie’s prices are reasonable…actually less money than some local spas, yet way better massages!
