I've been having a lot of wrist pain lately, especially at night, and my fingers feel tingly or numb sometimes. Could this be carpal tunnel syndrome? I'm really hoping there are other treatment options besides surgery what can I try first to relieve the pain and discomfort?

I had a major humerus fracture and got a plate put in almost two years back. Now I'm having pain when I move my arm too much at work and can't lift my left hand above my shoulder. What can I do to help it heal better and when would be the right time to get the plate removed?

Question

My husband has been dealing with shoulder pain for two years now because of gym exercises. The MRI shows a small partial thickness tear in the anterior fibers, no full-thickness tear or tendon retraction, and some fluid in the subacromial bursa along with acromioclavicular arthropathy. Can this be treated with medication or will he need surgery?
