Carpal tunnel topics

Enter page title here

I came to the clinic a year ago, when CT was diagnosed. I wore a splint at night and over the months the symptoms i.e. the tingling and pins and needles disappeared. Unfortunately, the symptoms have now reappeared in both hands, but more so in the right. My Raynauds is particularly bad when the temperature drops. Wondering whether I should now have steroid injections? m

Carpal tunnel or cervical radiculopathy? Confused.

Hi,

Update, John Nickson, op Friday 8th June

Hi again,

As mentioned in previous posts I had a flare up of ctsymptoms on 7th January, very severe pain, almost total loss of strength/flexibility in fingers.

Cortisone injections February 24th, immediate cessation of pain and thereafter gradual improvement in both hands.

Had op on worst hand(left) Friday 8th June. No noticeable improvement in hand operated on but both hands continued to improve.

I now have NO pain/symptoms in either hand and my strength has largely returned. I am, according to my tennis partner,"back to normal".

Rather strange.

Unable to use fingers after op

My father had carpal tunnel surgery almost three months ago. His symptoms were not terribly severe but his doctor recommended the operation and explained that it was relatively straight-forward and didn't pose much of a risk. His main symptoms were tingling and a numbness in his fingers. Immediately after the operation though, his hand swole up and he has almost completely lost the use of his forefinger, which he can't bend at all, and his middle finger is very stiff. He'd had no issues with these fingers exept for the tingling and numb feeling before the operation.

Symptoms

Hi everyone I'm new to this so please bare with me!!

Just wanted a bit of feedback on any of your symptoms , I havent been offically diagnosed yet waiting for my nerve test in December.

Newly diagnosed

Three years after surgery

The first two years were great, hands like new.
This year (third) right hand is worse than before surgery Left is close behind.

Is anyone else having or had this happen? Surgery again?

Unsure about surgery

I have suffered from CTS for 4.5 years. Interestingly during this time I have had two pregnancies and have not had CTS at all during pregnancy.
