I had the nerve test and found out I have nerve damage and carpal tunnel. Suggested pain mgmt., but I do things at home. I used to get cortisone and pain pills, but now I settle for stop pain, advil, and patches and hand braces. Live one day at a time, as my 90 yr. old Aunt told me. She is a breast cancer survior for 4 yrs. now. I didn't like feeling like a zombie every day.
