Carpal tunnel release surgery
Posted , 3 users are following.
I am 14 days post surgery. i had stitches out yesterday. I still have numbness in every finger but i was also told that the results from my nerve conduction test have shown that the little finger and ring finger are numb due to spinal problems . I had my other hand done 3 months ago and apart from the ring and little finger its good. The odd pains but seem good so i know this numbness isnt normal.
Has anyone had the same after surgery with these symptoms

hi Shirley..how long do you have to take the prednisone for for your hand I Assume? I had the CT surgery 4 months ago nearly and I get this itch around the scar and thumb joint where I had an arthroscopy too. I am having an MRI. Just wondering how your symptoms are going ? Thank you

I took it for 6 weeks (dose tapering). but when i finished it the symptoms came back. So I'm back to prednisone again for 3 months (dose tapering). Numbness and stiffness gone down but part of the hand still still swollen

i guess i'm ok with them. it helps me recover slowly. that the only med that my doctor prescribed - aside from NSAID which didn't help me at all.
