Since I've started taking this medication my hand doesn't swell anymore and the muscle spasms have stopped.

Which means once the nerve is calmed down, other symptoms subside. So it's not just masking the problem, it is helping with other things too.

We will see how PT works.

Perhaps, the physical therapist can help you with ergonomics and typing.

The PT session went great, I am already feeling a difference in my neck and shoulders. They pushed my first ribs down, worked on my neck and shoulders. The pain is still there but I feel like I am getting loosened up and my posture is getting better.

I am also seeing a chiro twice a week for adjustments. She said all my ribs are misaligned right now because of the muscle problems and everything has pretty much shifted out of place. But there is definitely hope to reverse this.
