Q: Numbness after carpel surgery

asked by: lute on July 5th, 2009

New User

My son had an operation for carpel. His hand was extremely weak following surgery, but
is progressively growing stronger.

Suddenly, he has another problem - thumb numbness.
Could this be a complication of surgery?

It could be a temporary condition from the surgery...He should call his physician to see what he says on this...
