3 Important Ways You Can Find A Doctor Qualified To Cure Your Chronic Pain

Are you thinking in regards to going to see a doctor in regards to the pain and numbness in your hand and wrist? Are you worried that you have an injury and that it’s getting worse? If you suspect that you have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome there are 3 necessary questions that you will have to ask your doctor.

There are a lot of questions that you may and must ask, but here are three questions that will make the most difference.

Question #1. What is going on in my hand and wrist that is giving me these sensations or changes of pain and numbness?

Most doctors will blame the problem on repetitious motion actions like working on a mouse and keyboard, or knitting, or something of the sort.

But that doesn’t actually answer the question. You want to know what is going on underneath the skin, what is the mechanism that is causing this to stay chronic and get worse.

Repetitive motion causes injury and swelling is only half accurate. Even if it were totally true, it doesn’t explain why it doesn’t heal and go away. Stopping the action won’t heal you, even if it helps the pain to go away.

Question #2. Are you sure that it is a problem with my Carpal Tunnel? Where else could the pain be coming from?

Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery takes place on the ligament that covers the bony structure of the carpal tunnel. This must mean that this is the only place where there is a problem. Unfortunately, it does not mean this.

There is an entire dynamic to Carpal Tunnel. It doesn’t just take place in one spot. The entire arm is at play. Surgery fails so ofttimes not because the surgery went faulty (and it’s bad news if it does go wrong) but because the problem wasn’t just at the wrist, if it was even there at all.

In my experience, most numbness in the wrist comes from up higher at the front or the shoulder and neck. How is your doctor going to efficaciously aid that?

Question #3. Is what you just prescribed for me going to make the pain go away -and- aid me heal back to good as new?

The popular methods employed to treat wrist problems, like anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen, rest, muscle relaxants, splints and braces, proper ergonomics, and corticosteroid shots just don’t get you back to 100%. You’re lucky if they work at all for more than a couple weeks.

They may reduce sensations or changes to a lot of degree. Temporarily. But they don’t fix the problem or get you back to as good as new.

And yet, they are the go to treatments to combat Carpal Tunnel syndrome. Until they fail to help, and then surgery is next. Of course they are going to fail. They don’t target all the variables that go into wrist pain and numbness, and they don’t do sufficient when they do with great success target a variable.

If you find yourself using splints, braces, anti-infinflammatories or muscle relaxants for more than a couple weeks, you recognise you are heading down the wrong treatment path.

Step Drill w/ ground flats on shank
By R. Ramirez
Good value for the money.

Have used a few times on electrical cabinets, galvanized boxes and thin stainless steel. I’ve kept it well lubed during use w/ high viscosity cutting fluid and haven’t noticed any dulling or overheating. I like the large size because I can drill one or two holes quickly and the mass serves as a heat sink keeping the cutting edge cool, after that it gets put away till next time.

Doesn’t have the feel or weight of higher quality bits so I don’t know how it would handle extended use, but that’s not what I need anyways. This gets the job done and is good enough since it gets used very sparingly and I saved a bunch of money to boot.

It got the job done!
By Multiplier
I needed to drill a 1-3/8″ hole in a stainless steel kitchen sink (not sure of the thickness, but it was a heavier gauge than some of the less expensive sinks I’ve seen) for an instant hot water device. I had another step bit that wouldn’t touch it. This one did the job, albeit with some time and effort. I started with a 1/8″ bit and worked up to 3/8″ or 1/2″ (I forget which) before using the step bit. Then, I drilled one step at a time using liberal amounts of cutting oil, it cut slower as the hole got bigger which makes sense as it was working harder to remove more material. The key to the job was letting the sink and bit cool down between steps (cool water helped speed up the process and also kept the sink from warping). I had my wife drizzle oil on the bit/sink while I drilled – messy but effective. Bit seems to have survived just fine, still feels nice and sharp. As an aside, we love the instahot, too – it was worth the effort!

Stainless steel = butter
By Jason Wiles
This cut through a large stainless steel kettle like butter. Can’t attest to how long it will last but I see no reason why it would not last for a couple dozen holes. Just make sure to use low RPM and a quality cutting fluid like Tap-Magic extra thick. Excellent product for the price and a good tool to have in the homeowner/hobbyist arsenal.
