Relieved and Happy

Hi Dr Bland,

A very big thank you, first the hand brace I was given to wear at night helped and then the injection on Tuesday of this week is incredible, the pain has eased by at least 20% which for me is a result, just wish they could do the same for my neck and arm but some relief is far better than no relief.

A very big thank you to you and your team.

Post carpal tunnel release surgery (9 years ago_

I had surgery on my left hand 9 years ago and this has left me with a weakness which impacts on my daily life and my job in respect of grasping, holding and manipulating every day objects. I still occasionally get the old familiar tingling and pain in my right had (did not operate on my right hand). Does anyone else have the same problem?

please help

Hello, I am female in my mid-thirties. I have no other health conditions and have a small frame.

help

i have been woke up for past week with severe pain in my hand its like a burning pain as if sumones trying to pull my fingers off if i get up and have 10 mins it eases but as soon as i aseep again it starts and wakes me up again .

CONFUSED,

i just want to know exactly if a have got the CTS or not.
i had a scan but nothing is clear,everything seems to be ok.
but i'm still having pain on my right, the CTS symptoms i do have them.
i need help, before it will be late.
I'm on my 6e week with this sitution.

private surgery

Good morning all, not sure if I am out of order here as I have just joined to find out more about Carpal Tunnel for my wife, who is waiting for an appointment to see our local GP (Deal area) she was told to wear a hand splint for a month and then come back to the surgery, as referrals for hand surgery were being scaled back, due to costs... now my question is does Michael Nicholas do private surgery at the Q E Q M.. as I do not want my wife to suffer with this problem any longer....sorry if I have trod on any toes, any details welcome
regards John

Poor Surgery Results

My mother, who is 94, had bilateral carpal tunnel on 20 August. Her surgeon determined her nerve loss by asking her to close her eyes whilst he touched the end of each finger with an unfolded paperclip. Her right hand was much worse than her left. She has had her stitches out and the wounds have healed well. However, she complains that the site of the wounds is painful and there is no improvement in her symptoms.

Post-Op recovery time and general info

I had open Carpal Tunnel surgery on both hands on 7th March 2013.

Im 21 and I work for a health care company, I spend a lot of my day soldering and assembling small components which require a lot of pinching (holding soldering iron, tweezers etc). I have been in this job for 2 years. I have also been weight training for the last year and a half.

post op problems

I have had my right hand operated on the 25th June and the left on the 23rd July. I'm still having problems with both hands. I agree with our last forum conversation that the pain I am experiencing across both palms is pillar pain. Both incisions are still red.

I am still experiencing that during the day, both hands begin to feel like they are swollen up and become clumsy. The hands did the same prior to surgery. Is this normal post op?
