In this video Dr. Lavern Davidhizar, Physician, Soldotna, AK, describes the differences between arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome. Repetitive motion injury like tennis elbow seems like arthritis because the joints hurt but it is different and can be treated pretty easily.Carpal tunnel comes from doing a new activity or working on a computer that is not ergonomically correct. New activities such as typing or tennis need to be eased into to prevent injury.Injections of plasma rich protein is one suggested treatment by Dr. Lavern Davidhizar and for carpal tunnel wearing splints can help.
