Usually steroid course is given in carpal tunnel syndrome patients. First of all if ur symptoms r due to CTS ,then only it will work.it will be diagnosed based on nerve conduction studies done by trained neurologist.(surgery will be dobe for severe CTS ) If due to cervical spondylitic( needs mri c.spine ) radiculopathy,stetoids wont be of use . So better to be seen by neurologist and get evaluated properly.(surgery will be done in only severe compression

So I've been dealing with these migraine headaches lately, and my doctor told me to use Naxdom 500 only when I actually have a headache. But here's the thingI've been taking it twice a day for the past three days because the headaches just won't quit. Should I have been sticking to just once a day, or am I handling this the right way?
