carpal tunnel surgery side effects Posted: 04-12-08 19:20pm
My mom is 66 years old, she has severe
bilateral carpal tunnel on both hands. She
also has arthritis on her fingers. 2
months ago she had a surgery on the right
hand to release the carpal tunnel. Her
numbness and tingling is gone. About 1
month after the surgery she has pain on
where the stiches were, then it
dissappeared. She does physical therapy
once a week, and she is very diligent
doing it on her own at home.
Now, after 2 months, for the last 3 nights
she had the pain again around where the
stiches were, and last night it went to
her fingers too. She is suppose to have
another surgery on the left hand side, but
she is worry because she still has pain on
the right hand. I am wondering if this
pain after 2 month of carpal tunnel
surgery is normal. Maybe she overdid the
therapy at home ?
Thank you.
