Dear Deann,
Keep your hope high.As modern medical treatment advanced you can manage these problems easily.
1.First of all,take analgesic.Tramadol combined with ibuprofen or pentazocine will be very effective.Hydocodone combined with paracetamol is very effective.
2.Take nifedipine.It is widely prescribed as a drug for Raynaud's phenomenon.
3.1-2% topical nitroglycerine is very useful.
4.Wear a belt for disc prolapse but you can get maximum benefit from surgery.
5.For carpal tunnel syndrome above analgesics are useful,you can also wear a carpal tunnel syndrome splint which is very helpful.Surgery can be done and it is very useful.
5.Try some SSRI drugs.they are mood elevators,manages pain.ESITALOPRAM is a very good choice.
6.If you smoke stop immediately.Avoid touching too much cold/too much hot substance.Like holding a chilled beer can or wearing gloves.
7.Use antioxidant pills,consult a physiotherapist,acupuncture is helpful sometime.
I think these suggestions can help to ease your pain.good luck,stay strong.
