It's ok. They should have known better. It sounds unkind to ask someone a bunch of uncomfortable questions and then leave them in a room with big needles for a half hour. I feel like many doctors don't really understand what it's like to be triggered and how uncomfortable it is to talk about these things.

My ob-gyn's form had checkboxes for different types of abuse for the new patient to just casually check off. I struggled for weeks (I could print the form before going in) and decided not to check anything off. I couldn't imagine why they would ask unless they wanted to have uncomfortable conversations about it while I'm in an advanced state of undress. Since my physical abuse had nothing to do with anything I needed to discuss with the gyno I didn't feel like it was any of her business. I took my discomfort with the form to mean I should probably direct my concerns to a therapist instead.

I have carpal tunnel too, by the way. I don't generally believe in this kind of stuff but I got a deep massage (specifically for the carpal tunnel) and it got much better. When the guy was pressing on the top of my spinal column I felt the shock course through my affected fingertips. He hit the right nerve. I tried what the doctor said at first (NSAIDS/wrist brace), and I did it for a couple years whenever the problem recurred, but the carpal tunnel just seemed to progress to the point that I could no longer hold mildly heavy objects without dropping them (in my mid-20s). I don't know how advanced your carpal tunnel is or whether this story is relevant to you at all, but doctors say it's from overuse and sometimes it's really a pinched nerve.
