In the FAQ, under the general info on wrist problems (carpal tunnel,
tendinitis, etc.), it said in no uncertain terms that, should one start
showing symptoms like those listed, one should GET TO A DOCTOR.

Well, what should one expect to have one's doctor do?

My husband went to his doctor complaining of aches & pains in his wrists
and arms; his doctor gave him a prescription for wrist braces (with 
instructions on when to wear them and when not to wear them) and sent him
to a neurologist, who checked him out for carpal tunnel.  The neurologist
checked him out and determined that his was a mild problem and told him
that the braces would do him a lot of good, but should he have any problems
with tingling in his fingers, etc., that he should come back to see him.

I went to my doctor (different doctor) complaining of aches and pains in
my wrists and arms; my doctor flopped my wrist back and forth a few times,
gave me a prescription for an anti-inflammatory (prescription-strength 
ibuprofen) and told me to try wearing braces if I thought it might help.
That was it.

What should we have expected from our doctors?  Does it look like either 
of us got it?  And why do I feel like my husband's doctor has more of a
clue on this than mine does?  :-)


Thanks,
Faith
