Taking Advil dulls the paid Someone mentioned to me that this may be carpal tunnel related? I am sick of chalking it up to old age. Any ideas?

Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.It is more likely to be overwork related and conditions such as tennis elbow. I does not think it to be carpal tunnel related. In carpal tunnel syndrome pain is more in fingers then forearm and there is numbness. But I advise you to consult your Orthopedician and get treatment accordingly. So you can treat it after consulting your Orthopedician. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.Hope I have answered your query.If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
