Feedback from second round of steroid injections

I am writing to report that after having a steroid injection in my right hand, just over 6 weeks ago, I have been symptom free almost immediately. I am hopeful that the injection will last well, previously lasting 7 months before symptoms slowly appeared. Left hand remains symptom free since first round of injections. Thank you very much.

Numbness after Depo infection

How bilateral ECV confirmed Ulnar Nerve Compression and bilateral symptoms-only CTS-like got better/resolved

Hi all,

As I found a lot of useful information on this forum, and got a reply from Jeremy on a post of me a year ago I decided to post a follow-up (for the inital post please view one of the cubital tunnel syndrome posts, I think it was started by "makeson"). The most important info is that I had bilateral nightly numbness in all my fingers, no pain involved and no daytime symptoms.

I did not want to get surgery but I did the following:

Arms hard and lumpy after CTS

After my mums CTS on both wrists her arms have turned very hard and lumpy. It is not painful but after 7 months since the surgery they are hard like a rock up to her elbows (so elbows down to wrist).
Has any one had this happen or know of anyone who has experienced this? The Dr who did the surgery is shocked and has never seen anything like it. Appreciate any feedback.

carpal tunnel advise

Dear Doctor,

Could you please give me comments one my current state of wrist. I had burning aches and cutting pains in both wrists, fatigue and pain in fingers. No numbness though. It started when I overused my hands playing video games. Plus I work a lot with the computer, use the smart phone.

Had tried NSAID, rest (up to 2-3 weeks) and then steroids, it eased the pain but did not cleared it out. I don't have pain when I rest, but do have it when I work with the hands and fingers and use fine motor skills.

Diagnosed with CTS and confused

Hi this site is one of the first ones i found while searching for CTS and i found more help here than from my doctors.My syndrome started almost 2 years ago starting with numbing feet then hand. I visited the doctors some months ago ,at first the Neurologist told me it's all in my head but i had an EMG and the doctor who performed it said i have carpal tunnel syndrome on my right hand but she said nothing about my left hand and the main Neurologist just recommends acupuncture which the insurance doesn't cover.

Post op numbness

Had right hand carpel tunnel release 5 days ago on Tuesday Feb 12. I was told I had severe cts by nerve testing. I have been moving my wrist and can almost completely make a fist. Have had almost no pain and mostly normal feeling since the freezing wore off untill today. This morning around 10 am my fingers and entire palm have fallen asleep. Pins and needles and has been this way with no reliefe since. It is now after 6pm. Is this something to be concerned about? Or should the numbness go away? My Dr is closed untill Tuesday.
Thanks.

Still suffering after cortinsone injection

I've been a suffering of Carpel tunnel for several years..I got diagnosed via gp and prescribed naproxen. They did he at first but I'd say in the last couple of years I've suffered more. I had cortisone injection over two years ago which at the time relieved syptoms but gradually wore off. I had it re done again last Nov bit since they symptoms seem a lot worse. Come night time my had feels so weak and tight. Movememt is very restricted and my little finger get numb.
I've also been experiencing pain jist above my left shoulder blade and when I rotate my shoulder it grinds.

Carpal tunnel During day only

Do you know if you can have carpal tunnel when it only bothers you during th day! The math ngling and pain is never when I am sleeping!

Unbearable pain

I broke the fibula, about 27mm above the lateral malleolus. I had a martial arts accident where I was thrown very powerfully by one of our colleagues. My foot stayed planted on the floor, while my upper body rotated. I took an X-ray and at that time, it showed that all the bits were pretty much in the right spot. Hence the orthopedic surgeon did not decide to operate. My leg was covered with plaster and I was asked to rest for a week. This was like around three months before and everything was perfect until last week. I began to experience slight sharp pain in the joints of my leg.
