Docs tried to conince me it was carpal tunnel syndrome---which was tested for and is not. It is the same finger pain I had befoer the surgery.

2 years later finger pain seems to be getting worse....although it is possible that it is just getting really old and I am tired of dealing with it. Some days I feel like cutting off my hand. Over the counter drugs do not help. Lately it has been very bad..the best it gets is annoying like a mild headache.

Anyone have similar experiences or can recommend soemthing..or is this it, just accept it and live with it. I hav tried chirpractic medicine which has helped lower back but no relief to hand.
