A member asked:

Doctor diagnosed me with ulnar entrapment and prescribed mylan-indapamide to be taken when needed. i am not comfortable with taking these tablets as i don't have water retention. please advise if this is really necessary for "inflammation" ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diuretic: I'm not familiar with the use of a diuretic to treat ulnar nerve entrapment ? to relieve swelling of the nerve. Conventional treatments include anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, braces. Consult a hand surgeon or orthopedic specialist for the best care.
