I developed severe carpel tunnel in both hands when I came down with RA. The pain was SO bad at night, I cried. Went from my hands up my shoulders. Eventually had surgery in one hand. The other hand corrected itself when I went on meds.
Anyway, I saw this article on the internet which I found interesting about botox helping CTS.
Just thought I'd pass it on for those who are suffering from it due to RA like I did.

I find that very interesting. Experienced awful pain in elbow and hand some months ago, dx as CTS most probably caused by RA. Now the pain is manageable thanks to drugs and splint. Nice to know there may be an effective alternative. Thanks for the info, Susan.
