Can't take it any more

I'm going to the doctor today to have my arm looked at. My carpal tunnel is getting worse and I need some relief.

The other day I had pain radiating from in between my fingers all the way to my shoulder. Today I was holding my coffee mug and my arm started aching.

I don't know what the doctor can do for it. I don't know how the surgery (if that is an option) would help. I'm sure all he can do is give me a better brace and prescribe some sort of mild pain killer. That is fine... I just know that I hurt and I want him to help me out.
