Is Bleeding And Numbness In Fused Hand After Surgery Normal?

I had an operation on my hand to get it fused 2 years ago and it hasn t bothered me since I had it done. Until tonight it has started bleeding and it isn t stopping. I have had my hand above my heart to see if that works but that has just made my arm go numb and its still bleeding is this normal?

No bleeding after such a long time is not normal. I would recommend you to show it to your doctor who has operated and find out if there is any infection in this.

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you got your hand fusion done. Now you got bleeding which is not stopping even after elevation of your limb. It is not related to your fusion of hand. I think you should got yourself checked for bleeding disorders. Compression bandages maybe effective in stopping bleeding. You can go to emergency for it. You can discuss with your Doctor about it.Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
wishing you a good health. Take care.
