Love you guys....very informative.
I would like to add...don't get discouraged if you don't get significant relief right away. You MUST be consistent in doing the stretches every day for up to several weeks/months before total relief.
Also make sure you sleep correctly (on your side) with a pillow between your knees and neck supported and in alignment with your back.
It took me several months and I am proud to say I am healed without surgery....totally off meds.
I am continuing my stretches and to make sure I stay well, I have built up my core muscles to help support my healing as well as worked on my posture (it's not perfect, but I'm getting there). I had forward head posture, arthritis, and thoracic nerve syndrome....all fixed. My doctor who suggested surgery which involved removing thumb bones is very impressed with my healing! I'm over the moon to dodge surgery and thankful for all your help.
Hoping this encourages your readers to keep at it. Stretching, good posture, healthy eating healthy, drinking plenty of water....and staying positive are key to good health! Oh...and watching you guys 😜

I have numbness and pain in my right hand and all the other symptoms.
My doctor suggested me to go for a blood test to know my sugar level. I just hope I am not suffering from diabetes.
Pls pray for me
debdo1960 agree! B&B rock!!
I have a sudden flare up (first time ) of CTS and I knew where to go. Our guys B&B!!! I start using their tips tomorrow. (As my hand goes numb holding this stupid phone)
@@undrasmith1087 you need to know your insulin level. If your blood sugar is raised youve had poor blood sugar control from eating high carbohydrates. Its a matter of when not if. If youre worried theres a reason. I lost over 100 lbs doing a ketogenic diet which reverses type2 diabetes. Look up dr berry, dr boz, dr eckberg, dr berg. It will change your life! Its the best antiinflammatory diet. Shameless plug, I have a fb group called "keto for chronic disease management" to help people just like you. ✌
Thank you for sharing this.
Sometimes pain in my body brings me to tears. You guys are my lifeline and I really mean that. You have taught me so much. Thank you.
I can feel your emotions

I’m a 25 year old female with carpal tunnel on both wrists, worse on my dominant right hand. I’ve been a barista for 6 years, which is what caused it, and now am in massage therapy school. The pain has flared up majorly lately, but your videos have been so helpful.
I can relate it the same way... It started on the right and moved to the left as well but this video has helped alot in a short span
I'm a few months shy of 30 and I've had various intermittent tendonitis/CTS issues with my left arm/wrist for years (cause initially by RSI as a guitar player). Over the last 3y or so, my dominant right arm has far outstripped anything I ever felt in my left. Many days over the last 6-8 months were maddening, close to unbearable. I'm finally making some progress with treatment/specialist referrals but I can totally sympathize with the experience.
After over 1-year of irritation, aggravating symptoms and numerous doctor visits with NO concrete diagnosis or understanding why my shoulder and wrist/hand were numb and tingling - I am incredibly grateful to your channel and information provided! I took this video to my doctor and said this is EXACTLY what I am experiencing!! Thank you so much for your helpful videos♥️
Dont understand you have caral syndrome?? Hands pain? What treatment you did??
Anything and everything we need to know. Have a pain? Check with these guys on how to get rid of it without drugs! Love you, Brad and Bob!
Hi Bob & Brad, I went to the urgent care yesterday & they had a intern student come to check. He was more in a hurry & very unprofessional. He was not able to address my questions nor my concerns. I wanted to get a doctors note for two weeks off from work. I have two jobs as a realtor & as a Beauty consultant at Target … where the management makes you work insanely with no human consideration. Instead, he wrote me a note saying only 18 boxes a day is suitable for me. Sooo disappointed. I learned a lot from your video so thank you so much. I hope in the future ppl who join medicine must remember why they picked that career and show passion & honest dedication.
😅
Working professionally in arts and writing. I just wanted to say thank you for this comprehensive video. That one exercise with the arm outstretched (palm facing the wall and neck bent) made a world of difference, it really did. It's great that you emphasised the importance of 'being a wimp' when it matters and that more pain =/= more gain so thank you for that.
Using an arm brace, a strong balm for massaging, regular stretches, and lots of sleep and over the last couple days my grip is slowly returning, strength renewing. I'll be taking another week or so of rest just in case.
To anyone else reading this, the worst thing you could do to yourself right now is to expect results quick. Give your body credit and trust that you will get better in good time. Try out the exercises gently (very very gently and slowly) and don't forget the importance of deep breathing as you do them. If you're emotionally overwrought and panicking you could hurt yourself further. Release the tension.
Hydrate well, sleep deep (your body heals during deep sleep), and give yourself as much time as you can. You don't want to see incremental improvement and jump back into work as if you're all better, only to get injured again. You're going to be ok, medical procedure or no. Give yourself time.
I tried doing the stretches as you were showing us, and it feels SO good. Imagine feeling better the very first time. Thank you for helping us. I will keep doing these.
Thanks guys....again. Whenever something in this old jalopy breaks down, I head on over to Bob & Brad.
Thank you Bob and Brad!!! You are making my life a whole lot easier to resolve pain and avoid any more surgery - Unless it is life threatening (and even then) I'll never have another surgery that could make things a lot worse. WE CAN HEAL without surgery!
these stretches feel so good, thank you.
I can't believe how knowledgeable I've become from watching these videos! Thanks for taking the time and effort to create & post these.
Thank you both. Helping others here is
Such a blessing
I feel like you guys are so awesome because you're make us feel happier and in a good mood. It's like I forget about my pain and just enjoy watching you guys lol
These guys are outstanding in what they do. I had three fingers on each had which were trigering. I watched one of their videos for this problem. Today none of those
fingers are trigering! I still do the exercises to keep things flowing. Thank you so much for being the best at what you do.
This was so insightful and helpful. Thank you for making this resource and information available to everyone!
Extremely helpful videos. As a whole, this channel is a real service to society.
I love how you guys explain the anatomy. It gives me better comprehension of what my body is doing when I do the stretches. Thanks guys!
No, I'll never get bored while watching you guys!
Much thanks & love to you both.
I watched this video a week ago. I have done the stretching of the shoulders with a scarf as shown and I'm blown away at the relief. Not only in my wrist and hands but I can actually move my head fully from left to right without pain, something I couldn't do after months of physio. Thank you both so much.
Great demo on carpal tunnel. I am massage therapist for 20 years. I thought I had carpal tunnel but all your tests dont indicate I have it. I like the stretches though to help my clients and what to look for. I never realized the medial nerve starts so far up by the neck! Knowledge is power and I am excited to educate my clients on this topic to try and avoid surgery if possible. You guys are awesome!!!
After watching this video I know my wrists, hands, and fingers are beyond help on my own. A couple of years ago my neurologist wanted me to get surgery before my carpal tunnel got to this point, but I felt that it wasn’t necessary then. I hope no one who has carpal tunnel ever gets to the point where I am.
Thank you to you both for this free advice and expertise on carpel tunnel. Very informative and the stretching really helps ease some of the pain. Thank you
I've learned so much by watching this.
Very worthwhile.
Thank you!
This was so helpful. I have carpel tunnel syndrome diagnosed. The position of my neck is the only thing that causes symptoms of numbness. The doctors want to skip directly to surgery. They didn't suggest any therapy, wearing a brace, or exercises. I kept telling them I believe my neck is the main cause. Without ever checking anything in my neck, they said you have carpel tunnel, you need surgery. I was left on my own to seek out these options. I'm so thankful for videos like this.
This channel is wonderful. Thank you so much for your help!
Thank you so much Dr. Brad & Dr. Bob I have been really struggling with carpal tunnel syndrome... It has been almost 3 months but since past couple of days the tingling sensation has been very frequent and strong.. this video has really helped me in a day more than the medicines and my doctor visits.
You guys are awesome 🤗
Seriously you guys are amazing!!! Great information and you make it easy to understand :) Does anyone else suffer from a feeling of "bruising" on the palm? When I wake up in the mornings it feels like my palm is bruised, no tingling or numbness, it just feels bruised and warm.
Great video. Thanks for additional Carpal Tunnel stretches and recommendations.
Keep up the good work guys. Happy new year!
You guys are amazing thank you so much!!! Gracias!
Fantastic session guys! my wife just had the operation today but I wish I/we had watched this earlier. This was a very clear and thorough explanation for me! From what you've said I'm sure she has issues from her shoulders as well. I'll get her to watch it too!! Thanks again. Keep do what you're doing please!
It took me 3 months to find out that the issue was from my shoulder and this video explained and helped in just under 10 minutes... Not completely recovered but has helped reduce the tingling effect
This is what I needed, thank you.
Thank you for posting this. Very useful info for us gamers and computer geeks. You guys rock!
After watching this few min video helped me work an 8 hour shift on the production line with little or no pain ! Thanks so much 🧑🏭 I weld replacement parts for John Deere and toro 😊🙏
Thank you guys so much. I’m 22 years old. I had to get carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand because I wasn’t able to sleep more than 2-3 hours at a time. My left hand isn’t as bad and this has been an excellent resource.
LOVE you guys! Twice, two different problems, SOLVED by this channel and you two amazing guys. Thanks.
Thanks a tonne. I will try those exercises, as I just developed it today, in my 62nd year of my life, Regards from Antonio, Goa the state of India. I will keep you updated.
This was very informative. Will start on this right away! Thanks
You fellas are great! Thank you for all you do!
Thanks for the info, I've been doing yoga/deep stretching for many years but that stretch you demonstrated was tight and e ven a little painful for me. That tells me its an area that needs attention. I used to think I had carpal tunnel but am suspecting that its the nerve in the neck. Can't wait to add this stretch to my reperatiore!
Doctors Bob and Brad you are indeed the best 💖 thank you!
Thank you for making this video.
I’m happy that you’re informing about those physical tests. Because I have done those and my doctors are not patient enough to wait through 5 seconds let alone 60.
You guys are awesome!!
Great video! Exactly the information I was looking for 😀
So glad that I found you guys
These are so helpful guys!
excellent content fellas
I love you guys. You are always my go to when I have pain. Thank you!!
Thank you guys so much for the video, it helped me out so much
Thanks guys! I needed these reminders now that my wrist pain has returned.
So helpful one again. Thanks guys x
Thanks so much. Very practical approach and so careful advising the slow and gentle approach. ☀️😎🎼
I have this diagnosed in one side and it causes excruciating stabbing, cutting, digging nerve pain in my thumb. Amitryptiline has helped a lot and the brace at night stops flare ups.
I also get a stabbing pain in my armpit that travels into the palm of my hand.
I'm going to try those stretches and see if it improves. Thank you for putting up these videos. It's a huge help during this pandemic too when seeing a physio isn't easy. Your exercises have helped my arthritic knee, my episodes of bursitis and hopefully my arthritic hip will improve soon too. You do make a huge difference.
I'm 32, I have this in my left hand. I hate it so much and it can bring to tears to how painful it is!
You feeling better?!
@@pawsandpaintstudio Hey! Yes, it's all better. I've done some wrist exercises like squeeze ball therapy. (If you want, I can give you the product name) I'm always cautious though because I can feel it sometimes if I'm too aggressive with my left hand.
Turned 50 and starting to hurt a bit. Thank you guys for helping my knee, you videos worked for dislocation. Now I have a tingling in hand. 17 years or office typing will do that.
Super helpful. Thanks gents!
You guys are fantastic
Thank you for all your videos, this and your tennis elbow videos have helped tremendously. What brand of brace is that in your video? looks more comfy than the one I have currently.
thanks for the information
Great info. Looking forward to trying your suggestions. How about a downloadable worksheet or checklist?
These guys are awesome and actually care..

Good job guys you guys are great…God bless
Thanks for the info. Already had my left hand surgery, now my right hand is acting up. Thanks to this video
you explained it so that I may be able to avoid surgery with exercise.
thanks guys
This is exactly what I needed. I had really strong suspicion I have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, so I bought vertical mouse and started with some stretches and exercises. But only after this video I've discovered that my problem is not only in the wrist area, but also in my shoulder and neck. I've never connected those two problems. Now I can treat it properly. Thanks, guys!
This is so me too. My elbow has been hurting for the past 3 days im on the computer 16 plus hours a day non stop and I know I need to take better care of myself.
Thanks for this! I've also found doing wrist strengthening exercises really helps also. I use those handle things you squeeze in your hand.
Hey guys, great channel, just come across your channel, I'm a late 30s guy bodybuilder and get a lot pain in my wrists and elbows, just great tips and keep up the great work
You guys are awesome and funny! Thank you!!!!
I have had this since I was 50. I’m 74 now and wear tight knitted gloves to bed. It helps somewhat. Doing exercises for it now. Seems to be getting better.
Hey Bob and Brad I am also getting benefits from your videos very informative
You Guys are doing an excellent Job 👍
Thank you so much I feel so much better mentally . I was so scared
Thats why chin tucks werent helping me for one month this exercise gave me instant relief actually
Hit the nail right on the head and it was hilarious! You guys are awesome. Great information thanks so much you helped my find my reasons toward these symptoms and its exactly what you mentioned. Keyboard up high slouched down at a crappy workstation
Thanks
As a musician (bass, Piano, guitar), I was pretty bummed when my wrists starting acting up despite paying attention to proper technique. This video has made me feel a little better and realize it's not the end of the world yet. My issues, most likely, are probably the result of my wrist position while I sleep as well as my job. I'm going to start stretching and just bought some braces to wear.
I play drums and my fingers are starting to hurt and my forearm too tbh so that’s a bummer
in the same position. As soon as I felt pain beginning I went and got a brace and now I just hope with regular stretching and some lifestyle changes I will not have to worry about losing my career
I'm a 74 year old guitar vocalist. In the past week, my wrist pain has increased, not fun. Luckily the pain is not constant. Funny the pain diminishes while playing a one hour gig. Is it mind over matter. THANKS for this video.
Thank you so much! I was doing the glide excercise against the wall and wondering if pain is good or bad, I even asked my GP and she suggested that I tough out the pain! And the information regarding proper keyboard position online is so contradicotry!
You guys give me so much hope. Thank you guys so much. I just heard about carpal tunnel syndrome a week ago when my doctor diagnosed me with it. He said I may need a cortisone shot in both wrists (yes, it’s on both sides) if not surgery. I told my physical therapist and he gave me a list of exercises to do to help it. Some of which you demonstrate. I hope I don’t need to have surgery with these exercises. Thank you guys so much.
Did you get better?
