Thank you again Re: Back spasm, dr visit and questions

[Guest guest]

With just the celexa and percocet, they are easy to check. I will

check the books after doing this post and get the info back to you.

I will check both for interactions with each other, potential

adverse side effects/warnings, and for possible interactions with

foods or supplements.

As for your hand/arm/wrist thing, I am not saying you do not have

carpal tunnel. Some of the symptoms are also the same as with CTS.

What I am saying is that CTS by itself cannot be the entire

problem. You either have CTS AND something else or you have

something else and not CTS.

That Phalen's test should give you a quick read on yea or nay on CTS.

And yes, the tests in the other post for TOS are the ones I was

referring to in my earlier post to you. They are pretty standard

tests and your GP should know how to do them. If not, an ortho or

PT certainly should.

When you add all the symptoms together, it points more and more to a

shoulder related problem. The temperature variation, shoulder to

hand, is really suggestive of a circulation problem. If it is, this

would be another example of what I keep referring to about treating

symptoms and not looking for cause. Your wrist hurts - treat the

wrist. Doesn't matter if the cause is some place else - treat what

hurts.
