Left wrist/hand: Are you left-handed? Do much repetitive motion work like keyboarding/ typing, hammering, peeling vegetables, etc? What anti-inflammatory med are you taking? (tylenol (acetaminophen) is not anti-inflammatory) how often? Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome can persist despite treatment if the causative action isn't changed or stopped. Try icing wrist (palm side) & using wrist brace. See doc again if not better.

Answer 5

Be patient: Anti-inflammatories are a good starting point for treatment of your symptoms. It may take several days or weeks before you notice any change in your symptoms. Try to eliminate activities that make your symptoms worse. If there are no improvements after a few weeks, see a board certified orthopaedic hand specialist.

Surgery, but...: Spinal curvature, or scoliosis, is relatively common. In a 44 year old, it is likely due to residual adolescent scoliosis, in which the spine grows "curved" during adolescence. Most scoliosis surgeons reserve surgery for curves over 45 degrees. Improving scoliosis is really only possible with spinal fusion, where instrumentation is placed to correct the curve while the bone fuses.
