on-line test

Hi - just completed the on-line test & I am worried it may not give correct results. When I got to the 'which fingers are effected' bit I could not find an option that said all fingers (including thumb) except the little finger so trying to be accurate I entered 'none'. This can't be right can it? I may not have read correctly but I get the pain in all except the little finger. I get the pins and needles in all except the little & ring finger and I have a stiffness and can't straighten the ring & index finger with out pain.

trigger finger

have had previous cts surgery on right hand - about two years ago, and still suffering from symptoms, the hospital think are caused by severe scar tissue. have had ultrasound treatment which helped. but also in a lot of pain in my thumb since op - had ultrasound treatment and now have external neural modulation when pain is severe. following this I have developed trigger finger in both hands - both mainly ring finger. Monday morning I had surgery to release on left hand, but my ring finger and little finger have not regained sensation!

Carpal tunnel cases need prompt treatment
Mark Saleh

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common cause of pain, numbness and sometimes weakness of the hand. It affects 3 to 6 percent of the population, and recognizing the symptoms may lead to early diagnosis, which can help prevent irreversible nerve damage.

There is a whole page of this site devoted to the problem of analysing what has gone wrong after unsuccessful surgery and you sh

Hi, I'm a first time visitor to Carpal-Tunnel.net. I was treated for bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome. I am still having problems with my hands. I think I was "under diagnosed" and treated accordingly. I was reading a post by someone who also seems to be having postoperative issues involving her hands that may or may not be related to her surgeons choice of CT surgical release technique.

still having pain 4 month postop and after cortisone injection

I had surgery in April, the first of two planned. I had the type of surgery where they make the incision in the palm. I have never gone through with the second surgery because pain is still present when lifting, gripping or twisting the hand. My range of motion is fine, the tingling is gone, but the hand has pain with even minimal use. It is my non-dominant hand, and i have learned to pretty much not use it if i have to grip, twist or lift more than a few pounds.

Carpal Tunnel and Trigger Finger

I had open Carpal Tunnel Surgery about 7 years ago with fabulous results! On August 12, 2014, I went to work in a Fiberglass Mold Factory. I use my hands all day, grinding, using electric sanders, hand held filers, utility knives, etc. My GP states I have osteoarthritis in mainly in my right hand knuckles.

Revision Surgery Success?

I am 2 years post CTS on both wrists. Immediately after surgery, in both hands, my palms had pins and needles and the tips of my thumb, index, and middle finger were numb. Those symptoms continue with no relief. I have since developed severe trigger finger in my right middle finger. The subsequent nerve conduction tests one year after surgery showed slight improvement in the right hand and none in the left. The dull aching pain in my wrists continues to become more severe.
