I've been researching cubital tunnel all evening and I found several sites to claim that vitamin b cures the symptons associated with cubital tunnel

has anyone ever tried vitamin b or other natural herbs to ease your symptons????

a friend of mine used vitamin b for carpel tunnel and she says it helped her greatly

i don't want to start throwing my money away on useless drugs but if this has helped anyone, please let me know as soon as possible because i want to avoid any surgery

there are a few studies with B6 for nerve repair. I take it, not sure if it helps but its really cheap.

Dont exceed 100mg a day as it is toxic at higher levels.

Another one to look into is acetyl-l-carnitine.

As with any supplement, consult a doctor before taking.

i took b12 and b complex from the start....even sent of a urine sample to have mma test for b12
all normal....ended up bilateral surgery....
cant hurt to take it though!

Hello Keith

I have taken Vit B for years and yes it helps Carpel T
But my doctor says that there are not any natural herbs to relieve Cubital T

Do you have Carpel T too ?

I have Carpel T as well along with several other problems

I use a computer 12 hours a day on my job and it has caused neck, shoulder, elbow and wrist problems

My doctor says my nerve in my elbow is the worst at this point but the Carpel T is causing the extreme pain in my wrist

Did same research. I actually know a doc that specializes in alternative health. (selfhealthsystems.com), the site is neat, it gives anecdotes on each product. Also talked with hand surgeons and neurosurgeons on the subject.

Most doctors are not big believers in overdosing on vitamins. Neurologist recommended Folic Acid. Hand surgeon recommended B complex, but wasn't against taking B6 @ 100mg.

Does it work? Could it be a placebo effect? A mind is a powerful thing.

BTW, I take 100 mg of B-6 daily.

I am taking 400mg of B-6 a day and YES it is helping me.

I got sick a month ago and stopped ALL the meds that I was taking ( decongestant + B6 )
and I saw a HUGE differance when I stopped taking the B-6.

At 1st, I thought I was just wasting my time taking the B6, but like I said, my other elbow that I have mild cubital tunnel signs in did begin to ache again.

When I re started the B6 I found relief,
so for "" ME "", yes, it helps very very very mild symptons + the carpel tunnel symptons too ! ! !

Best,

Phyllis
