Has Anyone Had Problems After Cts Surgery??? Posted: 05-02-06 11:58am
Hello to all. I had cts surgery on june
05, iam still having problems.
Pain in the wrist,burning running up
inside of arm to elbow. Recently I had a
mri and another emg. The mri showed fluid
around the nerve. And the emg (done by
another dr) things looked normal.
Last wend. My Dr. Gave me a injection
of cortisone. Hand and fingers swelled up
for 3 days. Now still have pain in wrist
and hand and wrist is cramping all the
time.
My question is has this happened to
anyone? Or anyone you know?

I Am Problems Too With Both Hands After Surgery Posted: 08-27-06 15:52pm
After my cts surgery in april. I am
still having problems picking up things
with my left hand. One doctor told me
that I have trigger thumb and he wanted to
do trigger thumb release. I decided to
go to another doctor and he said that he
will do cortisone shots to see if the
thumb will release and that was about 3
weeks ago. I am going back next week to
see what he says, it he has to do surgery
or keep doing the shots. Since the 1st
shot I am having trouble with both hands,
I am tingling and burning sensations in
the hands. I would go and get a second
opinion. :(

I had cts surgery done on the 6th of sept
, getting stitches out on monday . While
the cast was on I thought it worked great,
no more waking up at night to cramping and
tingling hands. The cast has been off for
2 days and here I am in the middle of the
night with cramping and burning in my
hand. The doc told me that I could now go
back to all regular activities except
heavy lifting...... ?? I cant even hold
a cup! I have to use my teeth to open my
tylenol bottle.. Is this normal after
surgery? Will it go away in time? If
anyone knows please respond.. Also my
hand is completely numb on and around the
incision, is this normal?

the pain will eventually go away in a
few weeks after you begin to use the hand
again. When I had pain in my hand I
would put ice on it to cool the hand down
and it takes the pain away for awhile.
The numbness around the incision will go
away in time. :)

Thank you but unfortunately that is not
the case for me, I went to see my surgeon
last monday to have the stitches out, and
of course the surgery was not a success
for me so far. He only took out half the
stitches, I have to have physio therapy
for at least 4 weeks. He will then decide
whether or not my hand is healed enough to
go ahead with the surgery on my other
hand. I really am doubtful that I will
have it done, im in just as much, if not
more, pain now then before the surgery!

I had cts in may 2007, still having
problems. My hand is sweaty and colder
than the other hand, swollen, wrist is
stiff, middle finger is sensitive, fingers
seem swollen an stiff and sometimes numb
at the tips. I seen a neurologist Jan
2008, had an emg, nvc and mri. He said I
had Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (RSD).
He recommended that I see a Pain
Management Specialist and have a nerve
block in the neck to determine what kind
of treatment was to be done.
Well, I've seen the orthopedic specialist
& it's really great news. I have more
flexibility in my wrist & hands than I had
before with less swelling & my fingers are
improved. I knew they were hurting a lot
less & I haven't had the shooting pain up
my arms since i've been wearing the
thermal health gloves & wrist band which
is all good news!!!! He says the
improvement in my hands is due to the care
I've taken.I've decided to put off surgery
for a while longer......I will just take
each day as it comes & try to heal my
hands if I can. I'll keep you updated with
my progress.
