What Causes Pain And Numbness In The Thumb?
I had my thumb fused and carpal tunnel release 3 weeks ago. I have been having an increase in burning pain in the thumb and some numbness recently. The pain used to be at night, now I am experiencing it all day. The extra strength tylenol, 6 per day, doesn t seem to be helping the pain. I can t take NSAIDS due to stomach issues. Any comments?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to carpal tunnel syndrome.
I suggest to continue using Tylenol to relieve the pain.
I also suggest using cold compresses for local application.
I also recommend to maintain a splint to prevent further damage.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
