Of course it is...
Yep, it's official. I have carpal tunnel syndrome. Yay. I have to wear a wrist brace for...oh, we don't know how long. Hopefully, it's been caught early enough to repair itself through immobilization, and the pain controlled through ice and DRUGS.
Started several weeks ago with a vague tingling and numbness of my left hand while driving. It always stopped almost immediately once I switched up and used the other hand on the wheel.
Just this past weekend, it got worse. REALLY bad...as in pain waking me up from my usual deep sleep, shooting up into the elbow, and all the way to the shoulder. OW!
Tried acetominophen. Nope. ibroprofen. Uh-uh. Maybe naproxen? Sorry. How about Tylenol with codeine? Yep, that's the one...but I hate it.
This needs to go away NOW!!!!
