Carpal tunnel topics

Steriod injection 4 week ago

Hi there

New to forum and from Yorkshire

I've had CTS since October 2013 with the constant pins n needles tingly feeling, I've had the nerve tests done blood tests and even a splint fitted.. My GP said as long as I'm not wearing it all day and night I'm ok I've just to do what's comfy for me and relieves the symptoms.. I can't seem to wear the splint on a night and if I don't use it over the duration of the day it severely affects my work.. I've had to change my mouse settings to left handed one which has taken some getting used to as I'm right handed.

No feeling in middle finger

I had Carpal Tunnel release surgery 13 hours ago, as the anesthetic has worn off the feeling in my middle finger is completely gone and the fingers on either side have seriously reduced feeling. The middle finger is also difficult to fully straighten out.

Stress related?

Is there any evidence to suggest CTS could be linked to stress?

CT release post op problems

Hi there, new here and hoping for some advice on my CTS port op problems.

About 5 months ago I got a sudden onset of CTS in both hands, it may have been latent as sometimes sleeping funny made my hands numb for day or so, but I think it may have been caused or made worse by some chemicals in paint.

Intially the Dr confirmed CTS and discussed the options and so I tried injections to see if this would ease the conditions. One was painless and the other very panfull.

Why has a steroid injection made my CT worse!!

I have had CT for about 10 years, and received a steroid injection in my wrist 8 years ago form my GP in the UK and noticed a huge improvement in just a few days. However it has returned quite badly. I visited a recommended surgeon on Samui who said that it had become much more acute and I needed surgery asap but I asked for another injection just to get me

Advice needed

Hi All,

I'm in need of some advice as I'm a bit stuck on what to do as my GP has been telling me it will go away but hasn't..

So around 3 years ago i had issues with my wrists aching while working and shooting pains in my fingers i went to see a physio which helped with this and hadn't had an issue untill Christmas time this year.

The issues i have been having in both hands are, stiff fingers, pains in all of them at some point, now and then i'll get a tingling feeling in the tip of my thumb and index finger, wrists aching, weakness in the hands and wrists and pains in my elbows.

Pain in wrist for 2 years need advice on what to do

I am 17 years old and a heavy computer user (do a lot of gaming out of school hours). For at least 2 years now I have had mild wrist pain/a stiff feeling in both hands when typing or using the mouse on the computer which is very uncomfortable, however when not using a keyboard or mouse I usually experience no pain. The symptoms are much more prevalent in my right hand (for using the mouse).

Flymo - severe CTS

Hi, I think just read the whole site, every page! I have sever bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome. It did not start slowly, which is common with this condition. A few factors I feel are linked to the underlying cause of my symptoms, yet every dr or specialists seem to dismiss any link. I've suffered with alopecia (hormone affected?)since I was 16yrs , on and off since then. My first sign was one morning as I woke, at that time 27ys old 5.6ft weighing 9.5, totally healthy, my left hand was dead, when I say dead, it really did feel as though you could saw through it, and I would not feel a thing.
