Hi...A lot of Pro-Mucisians seem to lean towards Flextend for not only getting rid of cts, but for better flexibility and dexterity (sports enhancement). Go look and see if it's for you.

: Hello... I need some kind of help. I went to a Neuro a few days ago after having numbness in my first three fingers for a little over a month. It started when I came back from a vacation and took a week off from lifting weights and practicing cello. I came back and hit the gym hard and practiced hard also. The next day my fingers started to feel numb and tingly. That feeling from going from cold to hot real quick. Anyways, I had an EMG and they said my reaction time was about 6.5 mila seconds or whatever and it should be around 4.5 considering i'm 18 and I have never had a wrist injury ever. He told me it was CTS and that I should stay away from the gym and wear those splints that ya wear at night and if that doesn't work I have to get surgery on my wrists. I don't mind surgery since it would cure it, but I was reading some posts and it seems that a lot of these doctors don't know what they're talking about. It seems that a lot of people have been misdiagnosed before. I told him about numbness in my feet also. My feet used to go off and on, but it's been gone for a few weeks now, and my hands arn't as bad as they were before, but there is something wrong which I want to find out. Are there any tests that would show what's wrong? Or any tests that would indicate that it's surey CTS and not just a huntch my Neuro had?
