3 trigger fingers?
My dominant hand started hurting about 2 weeks ago. But for a month it had been going numb at my finger tips. I had 1 finger sticking. Now 3. I run my own lawncare business. Weedeating I believe is what is making this happen. Going 2 a specialist in 9 days. I'm taping my fingers and icing. Just looking to see what everyone thinks?
How painful is an EMG test on hands?
Will have one on may 15 and quiet anxious about it. On a scale of 0 to 10, how painful is it? Does it hurt worse than a blood test, a bit worse, much worse, somehow wrose? How long does it take? I don't worry so much about the shocks as I'm worried about the needles. My doctor referred me to check corporal tunnel syndrome.
A curious case
Hello, I have been having hand and wrist symptoms for a long time now. I would very much appreciate if you can provide any help.
*** History
- For the last three years I have been having worsening numbness at my index and thumb and pain at my wrist. These symptoms are worse on the right side.
Numb 9 Days Post-Op
Had endoscopic CT release 9 days ago & my thumb, index, middle &, to a lesser extent, my ring fingers are numb with the tips being the numbest. The post-op swelling has greatly subsided. I am not experiencing any pain & no longer experience the pre-op intermittent pins & needles sensation that would generally go away if I shook my hand. But, unfortunately, the numbness in the affected areas is now constant & clearly worse than pre-op.
Update
I'm seeing a hand surgeon on the 21St April about my constant pain in both hands and numbness. Work have told me to cut bread in the machine but I've told my line leader that I don't want to take the chance in doing so incase my grip goes. Even though I have had the carpal tunnel release some time back just would like to get this inconvenience sorted. Also had to stop self cathetizing due to my grip playing up, in a recent cystoscopy they have seen two lesions in the urethra, the urologist has put me on tamsolosin. Will let you know how next week goes. Mark
Carpal Tunnel is affecting my career/job choice and I am despairing at what I can do for a job
Hi, I am copying over 2 posts from another forum, so please forgive the repetition from the two posts below:
Post 1 - I developed Carpal Tunnel syndrome 3 and a half years ago. I had my first operation 2 and a half years ago, and continued with my office based role with no problems for 18 months. However it came back with a vengeance. I had a second operation 4 months ago and I knew straight away it hadnt worked. The surgeon said that the scar tissue from the first operation was like someone had poured concrete in my hand.
Are my symptoms CTS linked?
Presently I'm encountering deadness and shivering in the same hand, a shortcoming in the hands bringing about the successive dropping of things or perceived swelling while moving the arm. The symptoms are usually worse at night. I first thought I'd broken a hand bone when it began. I'm not having that now. The shivering is consistent yet the vibe of deadness isn't. Are my indications CTS connected? Will physiotherapy treatment help for this? It would be ideal if you share your recommendation or advice.

I had CTS surgery 18 years ago in my left hand. Now I'm experiencing numbness and tingling in the same hand, a weakness in the hands resulting in the frequent dropping of things or a pain or burning sensations when moving up your arm. In fact, I first thought I'd broken a hand bone when it started. I'm not having that now. The tingling is constant but the sensation of numbness isn't. Are my symptoms CTS linked? Will physiotherapy treatment help for this? Please share your advice/suggestions.
Post-surgical problem
My mother had surgery on her R wrist about 9 weeks ago (in January). She has two problems post-surgery.
First. Shortly after, she developed hard little white lumps all over her palm (in the area of the surgery). They are painful. She feels they may consist of broken up but undissolved stitches. A GP office nurse agreed and sent her to Minor Injuries. The MI doc had no idea and referred her on to a Trauma clinic doc who told her to rub Nivea in for 10 min. x6 times per day as she thought it was nerve-related pain due to the nerves re-attaching themselves.
