Numbness, Tingling In Thumb, Pain On Flexing Wrist. Carpal Tunnel Surgery Done. Normal Symptoms?
After carpal tunnel surgery and surgery on a neuroma in the wrist two months ago I still have numbness and tingling in my thumb and three fingers. I addition, flexing of the wrist causes considerable pain at the neuroma site. The palm side of the fingers feel like leather . Is this nomal? Am I being impatient? Will further surgery be required?
hi,
surgery should have helped you, but if it hasnt then you would probably benifit from some medicines which reduce neuropathic pain. A newve conduction test should also be done to grade the condition.
