Suggest Treatment For Tylenol Arthritis

Posted on Fri, 3 Mar 2017

Question: I have had Carpal Tunnel for years. Apparently I triggered it by using a computer chair that was too low. I fixed that issue, and have been wearing the Wellgate women's splint both day and night. But the pain in my wrist/fingers won't stop. I've tried loosening the splint and making it tighter. It seems like the swelling won't go down. I'm currently using BioFreeze (Professional) on the wrist, where it's really tender if I touch it or try to massage it. I''m allergic to aspirin, so NSAIDS as a general rule are out for me. I do have Tylenol Arthritis (OTC) but that doesn't seem to relieve any swellling.

Brief Answer:
Arthroscopic surgery.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have read your query.

From the symptoms it seems you have extreme stage or high grade carpal tunnel syndrome.

Without surgery its difficult to have relief.

If I am your treating doctor I would like to advise you arthroscopic release of carpal tunnel.

So I advise you to visit orthopedic surgeon, he will do your physical examination and advise you same surgery.

Till then keep on wearing splint, and medicine.

Apply hot packs.

Thanks,
