I have been tested positive for cts in both hands.  What medications do you use to releive pain.This is a work related injury from driving.

I used motrin and hand brace/splint.

f I were you, I would go to facebook and look up this site and request to join. 

I Survived Carpal Tunnel Surgery!

I am not a FB fan but there is a TON of information there, seriously I really wish I had found this prior to surgery.

i think i will have surgery in a couple weeks but otc meds dont touch my pain i can not sleep a whole night  i am trying to avoid controlled drugs

Honestly, the pain I had, nothing could touch it but a dangerous amt of morphine or something very controlled. There is gabapentin people take for nerve pain but you have to take that routinely, I believe. I don't know if you can take that as needed. I never tried it. I thought about asking my Dr for sleeping pills, it got to where I was afraid to go to sleep. But I only had to wait about 10 days.

Thank you fr the replies.  I never realized the pain associated with cts nor does the general public.  i will find out soon if i will have surgery on one or both at the same time.  this has alreadly costed me a bunch but i know it has to be done

Hi Ron,

I used a cold compression wrap to get rid of pain and a blood flow stimulator to heal it. The cold wrap was amazing at getting rid of the tingling.
