What Causes Constant Pain In Wrists And Hands At Night?

I constantly have pain in both ov my wrists and hands every night when I sleep. I only experience some discomfort during the day in both hands. I have been tested with electrodes and they think it may be some arthritis as well as carpal tunnel. What can I do as it keeps me awake for hours and is terribly painful. I have taken Advil, but no relief. What kind of a Dr. may be able to help me.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
Kindly consult an orthopaedician regarding your problem.
He shall prescribe non steroidal antiinflammatory drugs for arthritis and calcium supplements and some newer drugs that help bone deposition like alendronates.

For carpel tunnel syndrome a steroidal treatment or surgical release of the transverse carpal ligament may be indicated.

Also kindly sleep in a proper posture and take care not to press against your hands.
