Has anyone had their fingers lock??

May be you can relate. Had anyone experience where you fingers lock when you close them? When closing the right hand and I'm trying to open it again. Inner finger and pinky won't normally stretched like the rest. I'll have to manually stretch them with my other hand. Only time I can strech them by its own if I put pressure on my palm. Has anyone experience this?

Should I proceed with CTS release surgery on my second hand?

Firstly, thank you for providing this website and support forum. I have read through the content in detail and tried to absorb and interpret the information, in obtaining a better understanding of my CTS condition and trying to establish the best way forward.

My situation is that 10 weeks ago I had release surgery in response to severe carpal and cubital tunnel syndrome on my left (non-dominant) side. NCS test results also indicate I have mild carpal tunnel syndrome and mild ulnar neuropathy at elbow on my right (dominant) side.

Diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel and being told I need surgery but not convinced??

Hi I have been diagnosed last year by my GP with Carpal Tunnel and he also thought that I may have De Quervain's tenosynovitis. I have had 2 shots of Cortosone steroid injections. The first one was great last October as it took all the pain away but by christmas it started creeping back and then I was in a lot of pain again so I had another shot of it in the wrist again in January but this time it didn't work. It has taken some of the wrist pain away but am still in a lot of pain with my thumb and palm.

Hello

Enter page title here

I drive 18 wheelers for a national "package shipping" company. In November 2014 I fell out the back of a trailer while delivering some freight to a customer. I attempted to catch myself and severely broke my wrist and dislocated my distal and unla bones in my arm. My physical therapist says it's the worst wrist break she's ever seen. I have pictures of the x-rays if you want to see them.

Carpo tunnel Surgery

I am waiting on a call from the plastic surgeon for my date for surgery. I have been dealing with my carpo tunnel for 10 years now and in the last year it has gotten tremendously worse. I fight for hours on end to regain the feeling in my hands. I am nervous as I have never ever had a surgery before. I have a few questions and was hoping to get some feedback from those who have gone through it or have a strong understanding as to the procedure and the recovery.

Is it better to go under or use local anesthetic?

Will they cast it for a short period of time? (im a klutzy girl)

Pain is back??!!??!!

So i'm 20 yrs old (young to have this to begin with) and am getting a little worried . I was Diagnosed with CTS last year Oct and had my surgery in Dec after a failed attempt at doing a steroid injection (reacted adversely to it) and many MANY painkillers that just weren't doing anything.

Symptoms improved, no surgery?

Hello, I have had the symptoms of carpal tunnel since last April 2014, but the symptoms have changed and I'd like to not have surgery though I've been advised to have it by a friend who is an orthopaedic surgeon. Last year I had very bad numbness and tingling especially through the night which would wake me up and hurt a lot. I saw a physiotherapist but it didn't help. Now almost a year later, I don't get any numbness, only a bit of tingling when I've used it a lot, but it does ache a lot.

Injured at work

I am a nurse and was kicked in my right wrist at work by an agitated patient. The kick sent an electric shock type pain to my elbow and was severe enough for me to attend Urgent Care and be prescribed Ibuprofen and Cocodamol 30/500.
Since the kick, my symptoms have been much worse, I have constant numbness and tingling in my hand and it is painful if I remove the splint.
Has anyone else had an injury which exeacerbated their symptoms and can I expect them to ease/stay the same or worsen?

Handy therapy after cts

I had surgery 2/1/15 on right wrist. Scar is sore and have been told to keep rubbing cream (or oil etc) ito it and massage it. Now 7 weeks later this is easier to touch, but right thumb is numb on the palm side, (sensation is that it feels cold but isn't, stiff and numb) and even though I can grip and hold things, its not comfortable (cutting up food, holding a knife).and fingers feel very bloated! Have sleepless nights as pain and numbness in all median related digits, and yesterday resorted to seeing consultant as was in tears with pain.
