Chances of CTS: 80%

CTS Questionnaire completed

I have completed questionnaire, doctor told me to do. I'm unsure what's next though

Questionnaire completed

I've completed the questionnaire and result says it's unlikely that my waking up in the night with numb fingers is down to CTS. Can I still get a splint from my GP to prevent this turning into CTS down the line?

CTS?

Hi
I have just finished radiotherapy treatment for Dcis.
I was advised by my oncologist to contact GP due to symptoms of numbness in my hands and pins and needles sensation which occurs during the night and when waking in the morning , I also have difficulty with gripping objects that are small. She suggested it sounded like CTS. I had similar symptoms 7years ago, the numbness and pins and needle sensation eased when I started taking HRT.
Having contacted the GP he referred me to this forum.
I have completed the questionnaire and submitted it (227600)

Thank you

Hello. I had endo CT’s release surgery on 1/21/2022 on my left hand. My major issue prior to surgery was the my index finger n thumb have been numb and tingling since September. I went to a very known surgeon and prior to surgery had everything checked from my neck down to eliminate any other possibility. The day of surgery in post op my index n thumb felt the same. It’ I asked dr immediately after surgery post op and he said it was the meds they numbed my hand up.

Prior to surgery I had an extensive EMG where they went from my neck to wrist.

Burning in fingers post-op: is this nerve healing?

Hello, very grateful to have found this forum.

Post Surgical Pain after bilateral Carpal Release and bilateral Ulnar Release

I am a 34 y/o male of a healthy weight. In the fall of 2018 I began to notice moderate numbness in my left arm. I ignored this until the numbness was also in my right arm and in both of my hands in all of the fingers. At the time I was doing a lot of cycling (100mi/week), weightlifting 3 times a week, and practicing my guitar 12 hours per week. I began to cut back on all of these hobbies and my numbness stayed the same. After this I completely stopped all activies. My numbness remained.

My other hand is bad again

Hi,
my right hand which has been problem free since before Covid has now flared up again - the pain this time is excruciating. Would it be possible to come to clinic as soon as possible ? Left hand currently ok . Many thanks
