I have tendinitis in my thumb for about 15 months. I still have pain and cannot use my hand properly.

I already had anti inflammatory and physical therapy.

Will it still help if I wear a brace at night?

The following statement was posted by someone:

If you have developed tendinitis in your wrist, it will never go away.

How far is this true?

I am still having pain for about 14 months.

I have never been to a Chiropractor.
I have been diagnosed with a pinched nerve needing fusion surgery and an arthritic shoulder that will soon need a replacement joint and I do not like the thought of either one. Do DC’s read MRI’s? Can they prescribe pain killers or can they do surgery? Can they unpinch a pinched nerve? Can they paralyze me by pushing on my pinched nerve? Any personal experiences would be welcomed.

My husband felt like something was rattling around inside his ear/head, so he shook his head like you would as if water was in it, when a blood clot fell out. Could over zealous q-tipping cause a blood clot?

I mean the swollen part of the finger, where the nail bed is. I know the nail itself will take months to grow out. The finger has been x-rayed and is not broken, and the nail was pierced to remove the build up of blood (but it had already dried). The nail bed is still very swollen after 2 weeks, although the pain has gone. Should I return to the doctor, or is it normal for the swelling to last this long?

Just wondering, I have been having this dull pain in the center of my chest that goes all the way into my back, with more pain when I straighten my back. I have had a slight head cold for a few days, just wondering if maybe I have cold in my chest, or if it could be something else
