I worked at Starbucks for a year, about the latter half of the year I worked there I developed carpal tunnel syndrome. I quit working in August, and went back in October. Now my hands and wrists hurt so bad, especially because I am on bar a lot more often at this new store. I'm doing things like carrying heavy floor mats, carrying milk jugs back and forth, mopping, etc.
When I first went to my regular doctor, who had me hold my hands together similar to praying, to see if I felt numbness or tingling, I did. Now when I try that, I don't feel any numbness. I was reading online that if you don't have numbness then it's probably not carpal tunnel. Is there a condition possibly similar to carpal tunnel syndrome that would cause wrist and hand pain? Or is it possible the numbness was only an early symptom, and has gone away?
I am going back to the doctor next week, but I wanted to see if anyone had any other possibilities I could ask her about.

I'm assuming it's something to do with the blood vessels because of the apparent bruising and bluish tinge. I have a few theories, but I'd like to know for sure.

hello, i was injured 41/2 months ago - first Dr. said torn rotator cuff and sent me to PT for two months it never got better so i went to Orthopedic Clinic. They finally did a MRI and said not torn cuff it is "shoulder impingement" time will heal it here have cortisone..... and still doing PT. I was hurting mostly in the backof the shoulder and some in the front, I got a cortisone shot in the back of shoulder about 5 weeks ago, after the shot the back side felt much better but then the front began to hurt more.... so the Dr gave cortisone in the front of the shoulder last week. Now the front feels good but the back side is hurting from simple movements that weren't hurting before.... I can't find info about this on the net anywhere. Does anyone with medical experieince know if this is common??? I can't reach Dr till next week.

There's a good sized bump/ball on my knee. its on the outside of my right knee though. When you run your fingers over it. it is a small hard ball. And it moves around. However it is also sensitive to touch and hurts. I haven't hit it on only anything. But it continues to make my knee hurt. Maybe Im just paranoid. But I just need to know, if it coudl be a sist, and nothing major.

I just had a tooth removed. Before it was removed I was on 600mg Motrin and Tylenol with Codine (tylenol 1's) and I didn't really notice to be anymore tired or 'out of it'. Now that the tooth is out, they gave me Tylenol 3's. What will they do to me, besides numb the pain?
