Do you have burning pain or numbness or tingling into the area of the carpal tunnel in the thumb to the ring finger, it might be coming from another area of median nerve entrapment. Often the median nerve can have other areas of entrapment that are not related to the carpal tunnel like the forearm, armpit, and neck muscles or disk in the neck. With multiple sites of entrapment for the median nerve, which is often referred to as "double crush syndrome", it is often the end of the nerve that is most stretched and affected and will produce symptoms in the hand. Do neck movements bother you? Does raising arms up helps to relieve pain when sitting or possibly laying down. If this is you then median nerve flossing might be a helpful exercise. Watch this video for an informal demonstration on how to perform this exercise to floss the median nerve. We recommend 20-30 reps 3-5 sets daily, if this exercise does aggravate this condition I would decrease the amount of reps and sets to where you are able to reduce symptoms within 10-15 minutes after completion of the median nerve flossing exercise. There are modifications to lesser stress the nerve for example wrist movements, or wrist and elbow extension movements to floss nerve with no head movements.
