I had de Quervians tendinitis surgery 14 years ago and now those symptoms have come back along with triggering in my thumb. Numbness in my wrist and fingers and hand. I saw a ortho dr and he said carpel tunnel now too. It’s 2am and I’ve been up to different times since 11pm when I went to bed. I can’t sleep. Pain is worse at night. Know the routine of positioning and braces. I totally hate velcro. 👎. I have stomach issues with anti inflammatory meds but have to take something! Surgery scheduled in 6 days. I have to say, I’m looking forward to it somewhat. Praying the procedure has improved over the last decade and hope this is the last time. Right hand has arthritis and showing symptoms I’m hoping from just overuse. Ice does help and I use roll on Aspercreme with lidocaine, a life saver.

Well for one thing being on these phones all the time and texting. That brings on a lot of the problem. And the young people will find this out later. I had carpal tunnel surgery 3 years ago on my left hand I had no problem afterwards no SCAR or nothing now it’s my right hand oh my fingers are numb they feel like there’s needles in them and it’s just the doctor’s taking too long to have surgery he is a neurosurgeon so July 11th because it was going to be later than that and I don’t want permanent nerve damage. Yes ice helps I wear just cotton gloves to bed at night keeps it warm on the left hand is hurting me again and I don’t know if that’s arthritis that I think there’s some nerve problem there also but yes I started taking more vitamin D because my dermatologist told me I was low on that and I have turmeric pills I’m going to start taking those and also be vitamins are supposed to be good but don’t wait if you have nerve problems because you could have nerve damage permanently. It’s a 15-minute surgery but it’s like a 2-hour prep

Why do my fingers go to sleep and I have such hard pain. Do that go with Carpel Tunnel?

Surgery helped instantly. Dr Hardy a miracle worker. The surgery pain was nothing compared to the pain of carpel tunnel. Meanwhile ice packs help. Get surgery immeditally, it will only get worse. Those drs who said there was no help are quacks. See an orthopeadic surgeon.
Dr Hardy is in Austin Tx.

Very helpful posts. My Carpal Tunnel pain completely disappeared 14 years ago, after ingesting a heaping teaspoon of Turmeric every day for several months. 2 years ago the excruciating pain returned, mainly at night. As I am on baby aspirin, I can no longer take Turmeric. However, running very hot water over my palm for minute, provides instant relief and allows me to resume sleeping or daytime activities. None the less, I will be seeking a specialist for evaluation. It may be time for surgery and PT.

I was diagnosed with PT in 2019, I was given a splint for my hand, but wasn’t told i hi ow bad this can get !!
I had an appointment with a specialist and because of COVID- 19 it was canceled. I am losing sleep, and can’t work because of all the symptoms I am suffering and it goes up my arm, thru my neck, in my back and lower back, I am also starting to have symptoms in my left had !!!
I feel so helpless . I just learned about the therapy and chiropractic thru this site and my neighbor told me about her father and his experience with this yesterday. I felt alone at first, I actually thought I was the only one in the world going thru this until now . I googled and searched PT and learned a lot, because my Doctors didn’t tell me much . I really need help, and I can’t work because of this . Thanks for all you guys help and especially for ATHLETICO . I need Physical Therapy ASAP !!!! Thanks

Hi I’ve been experiencing carpel tunnel pain for about a year now, it’s gotten worse over last few months, and now I have pain numbness and severe burning feeling in my ring and middle finger almost every night. The burning wakes me up, it feels like I’ve got a burn from hot oil or something and it feels so Much like burning In real life like I need to put my finger in cold water to relieve it. The way it feels is like holding onto dry ice and getting a burn, it’s like cold and burning at the same time,
I also get the long pain shooting up my wrist along my elbow and in my right shoulder blade. I don’t know what to because it hurts when I drive and even when I’m trying to write this on my phone, my hand hurts and feels week and tingly
