Question 4

what is cold sores and it's causses and treatments..

Accepted Answer

Viral : Cold sores that occur on your lips are caused by a herpes simplex virus; it's usually type 2; type 1 can also cause sores on the mouth but are primarily genital. Stress and illnesses can precipitate an outbreak as can sun exposure. Antivirals like Acyclovir and Famvir (famciclovir) are not as useful for hsv 1 as they are for type 2 but are worth a try; start at the first symptoms (tingling prior to outbreak).

Question 5

can surgery actually make thoracic outlet syndrome worse?

Accepted Answer

Yes: THis is usually true when it involves nerve compression rather than compression of blood vessels. Nerves can be damaged during surgery or scarring can compress nerves. This can happen in a small but real minority of persons.

Question 6

can surgery make neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome worse?

Accepted Answer

Well... yes...: surgery is cutting on tissue. It can irritate the nerve and/or produce scar tissue. It would be expected to open up the area to allow the nerve to not be compressed but the consequences of surgery often produce similar situations even when done right.

Question 7

will carpal tunnel syndrome come back?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Carpal tunnel syndrome pain is caused by a nerve getting constricted as it passes through a narrow boney canal- the carpal tunnel- as the nerve courses into the palm of the hand. The carpal tunnel release operation cuts the tissue on top of the canal to free the nerve. The pain will subside but can recur with inflammation of the nerve.

Question 8

might carpal tunnel syndrome ever require surgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Many patients can adequately treat symptoms of cts with simple, non-operative treatment.  This might include night splints, nsaids, cortisone injection into carpal canal.  If symptoms continue or progress, with incrasinain, weakness, or worsening numbness and tingling, surgery may be required.

Question 9

can chiropractors help treat carpal tunnel?

Accepted Answer

No: Chiropractors relieve musculoskeletal symptoms by realigning the spine. Carpal tunnel syndrome (cts) is caused by compression of the median nerve, within the carpal tunnel. See a board certified orthopaedic hand surgeon for evaluation and treatment. Oral/injectable steroids, splints and occupational therapy are good non-operative treatments. Surgery may be needed for persistent cases.

Question 10
