First day of carpal tunnel surgery hand stayed numb about 8 hours then throbbing pain. Took pain meds that night and day 2. Day three hand was in mild pain and fingers improved somewhat on numb and tingling. On day 6 hand and wrist became more swollen than normal and movement in hand and fingers were limited.  Unable to do regular household duties, can’t grip or lift anything! Currently swollen and throbbing. I’ve iced wrist at least 4 times a day. Unable to sleep at night and pain meds make me nautious. Anyone have any advice or know what could be the problem?
