Hi Bleauberry,Before trying those kind of meds I would try other things first. For your Severe unrinary retention you should check for Bethanechol first.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethanechol
Bethanechol doesn't enter the CNS and cannot induce depression (just in case someone rings the 'cholinergic = depression' bell).
For your thumb/wrist I'm less sure ... if you think it's vasoconstriction related you could try some agents known to dilate vessels; supplements or meds. Or try to treat the inflamation ? I guess you already tried that eh? I'll think about it and if I have any descent idea I'll post you. I find it strange that something that's increasing NE actually cause you some pain as it usually decrease the pain threashold.In any way I wouldn't touch the blockers with a 15 foot poles if I were you.. especially if you didn't try everything else before.
