When you have carpal tunnel pain or pain in your hands and arm, it’s a good bet that your upper body muscles are involved. Why?
Because the muscles in your chest, upper arms, neck and back can all cause hand pain.
Here are some movements that you can do in the privacy of your home with no special equipment. The goal of these movements is to warm the muscles of your shoulders and upper body.
When you were little, you used all of your muscles all of the time. You didn’t need a “break to move” or a “stretch break.” But now you do and these movements are beneficial to warm and help relax your upper body and shoulders and neck.
As always, pay attention as you do these movements. Listen to your body wisdom. Go slowly and thoughtfully. And when you are done, see how your body feels.
A little more circulation? A bit warmer? All good.

Hi Mar, There may well be a connection. I don’t know anything about the shoulder surgeries that you had but if, due to the pain or the surgery or the injury, you now hold your shoulder ‘forward’ that could be the cause of the carpal tunnel pain. There can also be other causes acting alone or together. Did you look at the ’causes’ category here on the right?
My goal is to help people feel better without surgery. The best person to ask whether surgery would end the pain is the surgeon.
I would try everything in my power to correct the possible causes of wrist pain before submitting to surgery. Did you look at the exercise videos here and do any catch your eye?
I hope you will feel better soon.

Thank you, Rick.
Everyone cannot do every type of movement depending on the restrictions they have but this one seems to do a very nice job of warming the upper shoulders and surrounding area.
