Health carpal tunnel op

Yes, I have, earlier this year, The first week my hand was very painful. Something got pushed into the palm of my hand and I had to be scraped off the ceiling, but it gradually got better. I was left with one finger numb, one unaffected previously by the CTS, but I was advised to massage a lump of hard tissue that I could feel in my hand and it is gradually improving.

I have had both wrists done without any problems at all.

Me too Minty I was told they weren’t doing it any more maybe that’s just my area though Mine was successful but at the time they overstitched the wound which got infected and I ended up in hospital on a drip for a few days then they had to give me gas and air to get the stitches out The nurse could hardly find them
My mum had both hands done successfully and my eldest daughter had hers done her second one didn’t numb properly and she was in agony while it was being done but no problems afterwards
I wonder if they nicked a nerve Painf

I think everyone's experience is different. Some people feel better soon after the op and have no further problems.
Unfortunately, two years after my op, my hand is still extremely painful, keeps me awake at night and I'm still attending the hand clinic.
I hope you find some relief soon.

I think Marydoll was right that everyone's experience is different but I do feel that I should have had a warning from the hospital that I might be in a considerable amount of pain afterwards- it was rather like the dentist hitting the nerve every few seconds.
