numbness three weeks PO endoscopic carpal tunnel release

Hello, Had single incision endoscopic carpal tunnel release three weeks ago. When my CT was diagnosed previously, my symptoms were numbness at night and periodically when working. After surgery my doctor told me he had to make several passes during the surgery to remove "significant adhesions and scar tissue". Now three weeks post op my middle finger and 1/2 of my ring finger are numb especially in the area between them and I have a burning sensation on the palm side of my fingers.

Numbness post surgery

Hi, I know there have been a few posts about numbness after surgery, but just wanted to clarify is it normal? Had open release yesterday on my left hand after an 8 month history of night time parasthesia and numbness. No day times symptoms.
NCS confirmed mild bilateral carpal tunnel in both hands but also transient ischaemia in my ulnar nerve.
All of my fingertips today have some element of numbness, the worst being my index and ring finger and my palm is numb above the incision area. Is this normal?
Thank you
Vicki

Small Fiber Neuropathy relating to CTS

I had both carpal releases done several years ago. Even though I never had conduction studies done before the operations, it probably was the correct thing to do as it stopped the extreme pins and needles/pain in both hands/elbows at night (this was severe as it felt someone was hitting my elbows on the funny bone whilst trapping my fingers in the door!!!). I was hoping for an end to the nerve issues, but unfortunately it did not stop my painful hands (which swell on using them and buzz similar to if you had hit your hands against the wall many times!).

Vitamin B6

Don't confide in what you are being told about B6 here (some people just don't believe in it, and would criticize the truth). Your operating doctor, and the faculty you've dealt with are experts in the field, and obviously know more about B6.. Here are a few controlled studies done proving the effectiveness of B6 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/242019249_Treatment_of_carpal_t... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3848223/

Short Carpal Tunnel Survey (for a project)

Hello, my name is Logan and I am a University student researching current carpal tunnel treatment for a project. If you could, please answer this short 6 question survey. The survey will take no more than 2 minutes of your time. If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to post them in the comments. Thank you for your time :) Here is the link to the survey: https://goo.gl/forms/S8dTDESqBbWEFoFC3

surgery or watchful waiting?

Any help here will be greatly appreciated!!! A surgeon diagnosed me with bilateral CTS and R cubital tunnel syndrome. I've had mild CTS symptoms >4 years, however, my symptoms worsened several months ago for unknown reasons. A recent EMG from Jan. concludes that the right is now stage 3, while the left is not positive for CTS on the EMG; Though I do have atrophy bilaterally to the APB. I feel that the symptoms are worse during the day with work, and are minimal at night. The cramping feeling in the forearms and wrists are the most bothersome, besides the weakness in the hand.

Experience with the 'Carpel Tunnel Solution', 'Carpel RX' or alternative medicine for CTS

Was wondering if anyone had any experience/success with the 'Carpel Tunnel Solution', 'Carpel RX' or alternative medicines etc for CTS (lets try to keep this a positive thread, rather than bashing things you've had no personal experience with) ? Thanks.

Confusing diagnosis, symptoms improving

I wanted to start by saying this is a great site/outlet for me (and I think anyone with CTS). I went to the specialist 2 weeks ago and was diagnosed with CTS based on nerve conduction tests being moderate in RH. They gave me a shot of cortisone at the same time (using the ultrasound for needle placement), this gave me pain relief for about 1 week only. My symptoms are in both hands, but the left is mild, compared to the right, again, being moderate.

Kenalog injection side effect

Hi
Had kenalog injection in both wrists just over a month ago. Since then I have had a period which is ongoing and has lasted over two weeks. Could this be a side effect?

Carpal RX

I was given a nerve conduction test and was diagnosed with CTS a couple of years ago, my symptoms seem to come and go but recently have gotten worse so I am now considering surgery. In an attempt to avoid surgery, I have been researching other possible treatments. The two most promising seem to be the Carpal RX and the Carpal Tunnel Solution. Has anyone had experience with either of these, good or bad? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Wanda
