Worse than before carpal tunnel surgery


(Green Bay WI)

I had carpal Tunnel surgery on both hands 7 months ago, which were severe.

The only good thing about the surgery is that I can sleep at night. My hands don't go numb. But until recently, my right fingers are starting to tingle at night already.

But since the surgery my hands hurt almost all the time. My left hand gets shocks in the wrist everytime I bend it, and my right hand has a dull to moderate ache all the time.

Both of my palms are so tender from scar tissue yet, that it is even hard for me to clap.

Joshua Answers:


I'm sorry to hear that.

I wonder how much of your Carpal Tunnel Symptoms are from Process of Inflammation, and how much is from the dynamic where Inflammation Causes Vitamin B6 Deficiency.

I wonder how much of your numbness and tingling symptoms are from constriction up and your neck and shoulder.

I wonder how much worse the Carpal Tunnel surgery made your Pain Causing Dynamic.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Most people tend to think that surgery will just magically fix everything back to normal.

As you've illustrated, such is rarely the case.


Have you Ice Dipped at all, as described on the How To Reduce Inflammation page?

when should the pins and needles sensation disappear after surgery
by: Kim

when should the pins and needles sensation disappear after surgery?

Joshua Comments:

Hi Kim.

Well, that just all depends.

Why are there pins and needles?

Were there pins and needles before the surgery?

More or less pins and needles after the surgery?

Did the surgeon nick a nerve with a sharp object?

How long has it been since your carpal tunnel surgery?

Are the pins and needles coming from compression at the wrist, forearm, or neck?

Scar tissue 8 wks postop
by: AJP

I have excessive scar tissue buildup after CTS. Have started OT and seems to be helping minimally. The tip of my middle finger is still "tingling".

Will this eventually go away?

Will a steroid injection help? Thanks...

Joshua Comments:

Hi AJP.

Corticosteroid Injections may reduce symptoms for a while, but it won't fix or cure anything.

Will it eventually go away? Probably not. Maybe. But you have pain and other symptoms for structural reasons. It's not like you have a cold that will just go away as your body takes care of it.

Your body is failing to take care of this effectively. It needs help.

It might go away, don't get me wrong, but if there is scar tissue building up, etc, that's a clue that things aren't going the way you want them to.
