Your doctor may suggest anti-inflammatories or NSAID’s for your carpal tunnel pain. Is it a good idea?
NSAID’s are medications which reduce inflammation and swelling. If swelling in your carpal tunnel is the actual cause of your carpal tunnel symptoms then, theoretically, reducing the swelling will reduce your symptoms.
Remember: I’m not a doctor–I’m just a reporter–with opinions, too! And my job is to help you get rid of your carpal tunnel symptoms naturally.
You have macrophage cells in your body. Their job is to be
the “firemen” for your body. When there is a “fire”–an inflammation–the macrophages come in and put out the fire. They carry away the foreign matter that is causing the inflammation and help you heal naturally.
When you take NSAID’s they interfere with your macrophage cells’ ability to put out the fire. They don’t know there is a fire and so they stay at the fire station instead of doing their job.
An alternative is to use ice massage for your whole lower arm from your elbow to your hand to reduce inflammation. If swelling is causing your carpal tunnel pain, ice will help reduce the swelling and that can relieve your carpal tunnel symptoms.
