Require steroid injection

Hi it’s been just over a year since my last injections and I am now in need of injections again as carpal pains have returned

Carpal tunnel surgery

In 2024 I had a bad fall and I landed on my knees and hand/wrist. This happened at work. I broke the tip of my 4th finger and according to mri and nerve conductive study I have carpal tunnel and a tear to tfcc. I've had 3 steroid injections and three rounds of hand therapy with not much improvement. They have decided that they want to do surgery.

When I asked how long I would be out of work the doctor said 2-4 weeks. I lift heavy. Is this about right? I have pain and numbness all the time but still have my strength. For the tfcc the doctor wants to just scope it out.

Zaps and numbness.

I had injections a few weeks ago. While a majority of the pain has gone, the three fingers on my left hand are still going numb, fuzzy etc and I get zaps up them when I touch my palm or accidentally catch it. I can feel the zaps in my palm too. Is this normal?

Pain in wrist 5 weeks post op

I had surgery on 28/6/25. All has gone well and the site has healed, but I have pain in my wrist now. If feels a lot like something is pushing onto my wrist from the outside - sorry, don't know how else to describe it! It aches most of the time too. Is this usual? My doctor doesn't seem too knowledgeable on carpal tunnel surgery, so I'm hoping the lovely Dr Bland will be able to offer advice. Has anyone here has the same sort of thing?

Expected longevity

A question I didn’t ask. How long (on average) will the symptoms persist if I do not have injections or surgery?

assesment

how do i book in for an assessment?

Diabetic - CTS release surgery affects

Hello, I am a diabetic who has had release surgery on my right hand about 3 years ago. That surgery did not turn out as expected and my hand became much stiffer (fingers), pain all around the hand, and I have about 1/2 the strength and flexibility as my old hand. The pain subsided about 1 year ago and I am at least moving the hand without significant issues (other than stiffness and weakness). Now I am developing stiffness, inflexibility, pain and the same post-release symptoms I had 3 years ago - in my left hand (but I have not had any surgery done yet).

Severe carpal tunnel

Hello, I have suffered with cts for a few years, recently underwent bilateral endoscopic surgery. I am curious about the severity of my cts, the recovery time and possible permanent damage. As the doctor who did the nerve study, prior to cts surgery, said to me I don't know how you are even functioning on a daily basis.

CTS symptoms worsening again after surgery

Hi, Thank you for your previous advice. I have recently had my other hand operated on around 3 1/2 weeks ago (open). The surgeon has advised that he thinks the surgery went well. He states that I had quite severe compression in spite of my NCS being mild prior to the operation. Over the past few weeks I have developed electric shocks in my hand upon resisted wrist flexion. There appears to be some developing intermmittent numbness in the tips of my thumb, index, middle and ring fingers.

Ulnar nerve pain at wrist?
