Re: Carpal tunnel question

[Guest guest]

I HAD THE SURGERY DONE IN 2000, BUT I HAD BOTH HANDS DONE BACK TO

BACK SO I COULDN'T REALLY SAY IF THIS IS NORMAL OR NOT. I HAD

TERRIBLE PAIN RIGHT AFTER AND I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO SHAKE IT OFF

AND I NOW KNOW ITS RA. I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR

AND SEE WHAT HE SAYS JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE.

is right. You should call your surgeon just to be on the safe

side. It could be adhesions breaking loose. You said that you had

an infection post operatively, so that could be a possibility.

Play on the side of caution and call your surgeon. No surgeon that

I have worked with would say differently.
