I've been diagnosed with carpal tunnel the pain is so bad is there anything i can take for it ibuprofen does not work for the pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Carpal tunnel: you may want to consider a trail of steroid oral, or steroid injection into the carpal tunnel may also be an option. PT may also help. There rea pain medications that can be used like Gabapentin, topical applicants. If you need an opioid this may be very tough in this negative climate in which any physician who prescribes an opioid for pain is considered a criminal.
