Has anyone recently been treated for carpal tunnel syndrome? What does that entail?

I'm going to the doctor in a week and I have carpal tunnel, arthritis, or tendonitis.

I have recuring carpal tunnel syndrome. The doctors just give me a special brace to wear, and tell me not to use my wrist/hand/arm (whatever hurts) untill it is better. They also give you some kind of painkiller...over the counter usually. I also have had tendonitis, usually it's kind of the same treatment, but usually they use an ace bandage instead of a brace. Surgery is a last resort. They never want to operate unless it is VERY nesicary...Good Luck.

Try vitamin B-6 Report It

they do a nerve test. sometimes it can be treated or better yet symptom relief using wrist braces. surgery is usually the answer. they go in and relieve the carpal nerve. you usually wear a half cast afterwards. takes about 6 weeks to heal.
