Cubital

It's been over a year since I've posted about my CTS. I had surgery on both hands and pretty much all good now. My question is about cubital and hoping you might have some input. It's hard to say for sure, but I think having CT release helped my ulnar nerve issues or at least in the beginning. It's been a little over a yr since I had the CT release. Several months ago I was starting to have a lot of problems with my elbows. I tried wearing my elbow splints and even rolling out the muscle on the top of my elbow and the tricep area. It didn't seem to help enough.

Issues after CTS

Has anyone had issues with their wrist/hand since their CTS? I had CTS 5 years ago and my hand has never been the same. The numbness and tingling went away after my surgery, but I have had increasing pain in my wrist over the years. It feels like it is broken when I move it. I also have pain in my upper hand and have trouble holding things. My ortho (not the same ortho that did the surgery, as we have since moved) did an xray, mri and blood work. He isn't sure what is causing my extreme pain and weakness and has referred me to a Rheumatologist.

Shoulder pain from carpal tunnel?

I have recently been diagnosed with carpal tunnel in my left wrist. Now that being said I have had four surgeries on my left shoulder in the past two years. My Dr who seems to not care I am still having issues with my shoulder. He says the pain in my shoulder and weekness in my shoulder is due to the carpal tunnel. Does anyone else out there have issues with shoulder pain and weekness due to the carpal tunnel? Thanks for any input.

What is normal post carpal tunnel surgery?

What is normal post carpal tunnel surgery? I am seeking some guidance as to what is normal post carpal tunnel surgery. Sixteen days ago I had 'open release carpal tunnel surgery' on my right hand. The decision was made to do my right hand first as there was evidence of muscle wasting at the base of the palm. The left hand is due to be done mid February 2019. Nerve conduction tests were undertaken on both hands with NCT results indications in the 'moderate range.' In the first evening (post morning surgery) I had burning pain radiating to my fingers.

Pregnancy, bronchitis and CTS

Dr Bland a couple of years ago you gave great advice and insight on my own CTS and steroid injection (I am leading a normal life now). I thought I would now post on behalf of a good friend who is unable to do so as heavily pregnant (due by Christmas) and down with bronchitis and confirmed CTS in both hands.

She has a lot of fluid retention and has put on 20Kgs. She is spending a long time on her devices too, and as it turns out changing head position seems to help sometimes.

Cortizone vs Surgery?

How effective is cortizone injection compared to surgery?

If I got 30% improvement from cortizone, can I expect more from surgery?

Inceased Symptoms After Surgry

I had CTS release surgery in June. It is now October and I have more severe issues than before and regret the surgery. My pointer finger is completely numb at the tip, with less numbness towards that base of that finger. There are multiple degrees and places of numbness from my pointer finger and thumb. If I had to describe it, it's like a baseball mitt and the space between the thumb and pointer finger that's kind of a mesh, is where I am experiencing issues. It's hard to describe.

CTS & joint synovitis

Hi,

I did CTS endoscopic release 5 months ago.
The sharp pains went away, full strength returned.

However I notice dull pain in the wrist when I do some repetitive stuff or just hold things for quite some time.

The ultrasound did not show tapped nerve, but they found wrist joing synovitis.

Could it be a complication after CTS release? Or it's just a second desease that took place along with my CTS? I had done ultrasound before the surgery and it did not show any synovitis.

Please let me know, thanks!

Letrozole side effect CTS

After a quadrantectomy because of ILC I got hormone therapy with Letrozole. A few months later both my hands began to tingle and feel numb. Especially in the night. CTS was diagnosed and I could apply for an operation. Whereas my mother suffered from CTS I supposed that the cause might be genetic but later I learned that rather a lot of women suffer from CTS as a side effect of Letrozole. However only on websites which deal with cancer and never on websites which deal with CTS, which wonders me.
