How Can Pain In The Arm Due To Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Be Treated?

my daughter has carpeal tunnel, left arm , but the pain travels from fingers to the back area, at the shoulder blade, but about an inch and a half from her spine. She will have a knot about the size of a fifty cent piece. The pa[n is overwhelmingly hard. She has learned to keep the arm and shoulder area covered with no air getting to it and it helps. Does this sound like normal carpul tunnel?

Hello,

The symptoms of your daughter seem to be related to carpal tunnel syndrome.

I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen.

I also recommend maintaining the area immobilized.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
