Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had carpel tunnel surgery on my right hand about 8 years ago. I was chipping away and some ice on the driveway today and tonight my wrist (area of incision) has a hot poker spasm sensation. Do you have any suggestions as to what I can do to relieve the pain and/or sensation?
Hello,my name is dr.Dorina Gurabardhi.I understand your concern. Some advices that I can give to you are: Use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen and diclofenac, for example), can alleviate pain related to inflammation -Take breaks from activities that strain the wrist, and bend the wrist every so often. -Adjust the work area to prevent strain on joints -Exercise the joints -Use ergonomic tools that can put less pressure on your joints.
