Suggest Treatment For Symptoms Of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Question: I think I may have carpal tunnel. My symptoms are the following: burning in hand and first three fingers, tingling, and pain. At night it wakes me and the pain has traveled all the way up my arm. If I shake my hand a little it subsides, but the pain at times is quite intense. My pain is mostly in my thumb.
Brief Answer:
Yes, carpal tunnel syndrome.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for posting your question here at HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
The answer to your concerns is yes, carpal tunnel syndrome is the most likely diagnosis in your case.
Get confirmation by having done a nerve conduction study of the affected hand and, if moderate to severe compression of the median nerve is found, consider releasing surgery (a simple surgical procedure under local anesthesia), in order to get relief.
Discuss your concerns with a orthopedic Surgeon or Neurosurgeon.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Greetings.

Is going to ER necessary for kidney stones? Any home remedy that can alleviate the intense excruciating pain?
Brief Answer:
It depends on pain level.

After drinking a lot of liquid and not urinating, how much time can pass without urinating (having kidney stone), before it's dangerous?
Brief Answer:
Few hours.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
Generally, if you drink too much fluids and don't urinate after a couple of hours, feeling also increased pain or discomfort, it is necessary to get evaluated at your ER with echo ultrasound of nephro-urinary tract, because complications such hydronephrosis, urinary retention etc. may result.
Hope this helps.
Take care.

Can u get diverticulitis after having a colonoscopy?
Brief Answer:
It is possible.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
There is no clear evidence that colonoscopy may cause diverticulitis, but it is possible mainly due to preparation before the colonoscopy and procedure itself.
If diverticulitis was evident only shortly after colonoscopy ( few days to a couple of weeks ), there may be a relationship.
Hope this helps.
