pain management

One last question for you. My dad has post herpetic nueralgia from a
bad case of shingles. He has had some significant pain for about 6
months now. He has been on Nucynta and anti-depressants for the pain.
He improved over the first 4 months, but has been dealing with daily
pain that is still life altering. He is in his mid-70′s and until
December walked (at a pretty fast clip) 5-6 miles a day. I have been
looking at�other treatments and chiropractic is one that I was
thinking of getting him to try. Do you think it is something I should
pursue? I’m a nervous about going to pain management specialists, but
he is growing weary of his battle and I want to try to help him get
relief.?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Dr. O’Donnell,

This is a great resource! Thanks!

I do a lot of typing at work, and I’ve been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. I’ve done the splint and medications, and now my doctor wants to do surgery.

Is surgery my only option? Does it work?

Thanks again!

Mike
