Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
After having a surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome, the persistent pain and numbness in the fingers could be due to a mild swelling on the tissues or a cervical radiculopathy. MRI scan will help in confirming.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
