Long term recovery source wikipedia
Most people who find relief of their carpal tunnel symptoms with conservative or surgical management find minimal residual or "nerve damage".[43] Long-term chronic carpal tunnel syndrome (typically seen in the elderly) can result in permanent "nerve damage", i.e. symptoms of numbness, muscle wasting and weakness.
While outcomes are generally good, certain factors can contribute to poorer results that have little to do with nerves, anatomy, or surgery type. One study showed that mental status parameters, alcohol use, yield much poorer overall results of treatment.[44]
Many mild carpal tunnel syndrome sufferers either change their hand use, pattern, or posture at work or find a conservative, non-surgical treatment that allows them to return to full activity without hand numbness or pain, and without sleep disruption. Some find relief by adjusting their repetitive movements, the frequency with which they do the movements, and the amount of time they rest between periods of performing the movements. Other people end up prioritizing their activities and possibly avoiding certain hand activities so that they can minimize pain and perform the essential tasks. Keyboard re-mapping software can help people whose condition is aggravated by one-handed key strokes involving a combination of the Control, Shift, or Alt keys and an alpha-numeric key. Programs such as Autohotkey allow a person to disable key combinations while they train themselves to use two hands to perform the offending key strokes.
While recurrence after surgery is a possibility, true recurrences are uncommon to rare.[45] Such recurrence can also be non-CTS hand pain. Such hand pain may have existed prior to the surgery, which is one reason it is very important to get a proper diagnosis.
Why does Crohns disease cause arthritis?
Crohn's Disease is an inflammatory bowel disease, and arthritis is also an inflammatory condition. The link of both of them having to do with swelling is why they have a connection. However, Crohn's Disease does not necessarily cause arthitis, it's only known to be associated with it. Hope this helps! :)
Addiction involves a complete preoccupation with getting and taking a substance even when the substance causes harm. When someone takes a narcotic, like the hydrocodone in Lortab, long enough at a high enough dose dependency results. This means the body becomes used to and depends on the continued consumption of the substance, and if stopped abruptly there will be withdrawal symptoms. Addiction and dependence are not the same thing. Addiction involves both a physical and psychological dependence on a substance. Dependence alone is simply a natural result of continued consumption of a substance. This distinction is critical. Many people with chronic pain are dependent on the narcotics they take to control pain. They are not addicts unless they are also psychologically dependent. When a person who is merely dependent on a substance chooses to discontinue it, then the dose should be decreased very slowly to avoid the uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. If your son takes more than a few Lortabs daily for more than two or three weeks then he is physically dependent. The dependency is higher if the dose is higher and the use is longer. All that means is that it'll take longer to stop if that is an option. Continued chronic pain is not good for the body. It can cause depression, immune system deficiencies, anxiety, insomnia and so on. It really is important to treat chronic pain to avoid these outcomes and for quality of life. If the condition is long term it is better to use extended release meds because they cause the blood level of the med to remain constant and therefore prevent pain, rather than trying to stop it once it starts. Using short acting meds like Lortab can cause a roller coaster effect of pain, relief, more pain, etc. And it can cause his tolerance to grow faster requiring more meds to have the same effect. You might want to see if his doctor is willing to prescribe a long acting med. Best of luck! steve

What can one do for exercise if arthritis keeps them from aerobic and weight bearing exercises?
While you may have heard that people with arthritis should not exercise, that is a dangerous myth. In reality, moderate physical activity can be a very valuable tool for maintaining joint mobility. Exercise also strengthens the surrounding muscles and ligaments, ultimately providing better support for inflamed joints. In some cases moderate physical activity can even help relieve stiffness and alleviate pain. The boost in energy and endorphins you get from exercise can also potentially help reduce the symptoms of depression, which unfortunately can be common among people with chronic conditions. Alternatively, avoiding activity can actually be harmful as it can lead to muscle loss and additional joint deterioration. While it is important to exercise, people with arthritis should generally avoid high-impact exercise and they should not exercise to the point where they are in severe pain. The best types of workouts for people with arthritis are low-impact, range-of-motion based exercises. For example, the pool can be a really great place for people with arthritis to swim or participate in water aerobics, particularly if you can find a pool that is at least somewhat heated. Other low-impact options include stretching, cycling, Tai Chi, Pilates, yoga, and walking. Everyone experiences arthritis differently, so the particular type of exercise that you choose should be based on which of your joints are affected by arthritis. It can sometimes be useful to work with a physical therapist or qualified personal trainer to determine which types of exercises will be the most beneficial for each individual.
