What Causes Pain And Tingling Sensations In The Hands While On Relafen?
Question: My wife is experiencing almost constant pain in both hands with tingling. Her doctor has prescribed an arthritis pain medicine, 500 MG Relafen twice daily. They don't seem to be working. I have RA and the pain is only when I use my hand, not all of the time. Could her symptoms be caused by something else?
Brief Answer:
Can be carpal tunnel syndrome .
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your query I will like to tell you that there can be lots of reasons for such hand pain in old age but primarily it's due to osteoarthritis changes and the tingling is due to Carpal tunnel syndrome resulting due to arthritis changes . I would like to see which arthritis they have diagnosed because treatment will depend upon that. So please send the prescription.
