Continued CT

I've had 2 releases to the left and right hands between 2008 & 2010. Additionally, I had a decompression to the inner forearms for continued numbness, tingling, and stiffness to all fingers. Had an EMG yesterday that reflects very little slowing in the median nerves but no ct. My fingers just continue to show these symptoms after all these surgeries and the stiffness and pain has definitely increased. I've had plenty of therapy, several injections prior to the surgeries, take plenty of medications, use braces at night and a soft one for my dominant hand in the daytime.

Nerve Conduction Studies - do you offer private test?

Hello,

I was supposed to have Carpal Tunnel surgery at my practice today but was told I need to do a nerve conduction studies and appointments for one do take a while. I am deeply upset. Carpal Tunnel has affected day to day activities and is not getting getting better. Dr Bland is this something you offer privately as I would like to arrange one to be done asap. Thank you.

what does the score mean?

Just registered and completed the diagnostic questionnaire. Have a 58% likelihood of CTS but the ring finger on my right hand continues to point at me in denial of that percentage. But it agrees with St George's test result "no evidence of a carpal tunnel lesion". But it walks like a duck. Perhaps I am the first sufferer from Non-CTSCTS. What do I do next?

Post surgery numbness

Hello
Haven't written on here for a while...Latest update on my hand....On the 6th Dec it will be exactly a year since i had the operation. (which by the way wish i had not had done now). Im now under another consultant for my hand, My fingers are getting stiffer, cant even form a fist that easily anymore, I have now got scar tissue were the surgery took place, i cant stand that part of my hand to be touched, loosing my grasp which is very frustrating sometimes as i am a kitchen assistant, its making my job very difficult at the moment.

Golfer with CTS symptoms

Hi there,

Swelling on back of both hands

Hello,
I have had problems with many joints for over a year now. I suspected CTS in my left hand and this was shown to be true and it is a grade 4. My right hand does not have CTS as I expected.

New to CTS, possible borderline diagnosis. Have some questions

Hello everyone. At the bottom of this post I have some questions mainly regarding : Are there conditions which can give a false positive/mask themselves as CTS on a nerve conduction study? But let me get into my history first a bit..

Carpal tunnel and 10 weeks pregnant, PLEASE help

Hi, my girlfriend is 37 Years and pregnant with our second child, our first was fully fit and healthy but caused mum to have severe 'carpal tunnel syndrome' rendering her unable to sleep for 7 months from huge burning sensations and extreme discomfort.

We tried splints and went on to having steroid injections which was a temporary solution, she is now 10 weeks in to pregnancy and is desperate to have the operation, my question is can the operation be carried out during pregnancy under a local anaesthetic whilst with no risk to the child. We are in Lincolnshire.

Failed decompression? Complex case

HISTORY:
I used to work as a masseuse doing deep tissue massage full time for many hours & 12 years. I experienced numbness in the median fingers quite often, which ceased when I stopped massaging & disappeared completely when I changed profession except for the left hand when holding the telephone - my fingers would go numb. My symptoms returned at night with tingling/numbness & I worse splints for approx 2 years. They became worse menopausally - last menstruation June 2013.
