Answer: The Doctor is treating her for Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). It can be treated with Non Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) and pain relief drugs

Explanation:

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a disorder which is caused by the compression of the median nerve located in the wrist. As Kathy continually types on the keyboard the median nerve is being compressed for a longer time causing inflammation.

Carpal Tunnel is an area in the wrist where bones and ligaments create a small passage way for the median nerve. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is therefore caused by the compression of the median nerve in the wrist. The symptoms include feelings of numbness, tingling, burning sensation over the surface of the thumb, forefinger, middle finger, half of the ring finger some feel pains from the wrist up to the arm.

They can be treated with Non Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) and ibuprofen to treat the inflammation and for pain relief.
