I am 1 week out of right hand open carpel tunnel release. I am in a full splint for 2 weeks and was told to move my fingers regularly, but that is it.

@laurenagnes8435 13 күн бұрын

It’s been 9 days since my carpel tunnel release surgery and I have to stay bandaged until I go back on day 14. My hand feels pretty good. I just can’t open a jar or mix cookie batter, etc., but I can’t wait to have these bandages off and not have to deal with keeping them dry! I miss the simple things like washing my face with two hands.

June 5 I go in for carpal tunnel release, de quervains release, and a cyst removal. Any tips or advice? That's left hand. When I heal, I go in for right carpal tunnel and de quervains

Hi there I would like to ask you for a bit of your expert advice, I have seen many youtube videos on carpal tunnel and yours is the only one that mentions the hands locking close as a symptom, Is that a symptom of carpal tunnel? They all talk about numbness week fingers but not if the hands/fingers can just lock closed so that I have to use my other hand to open the fingers on witch ever hand is locking at the time, I do believe that that I do have carpal tunnel through doctors that I have previously been to and from other guys that I have worked with in the same line of work and who have had the surgery, however my problem with having the surgery is that out of the four guys that had the surgery done is all of them it got worse after they had it done, And I think my problem is not only with the nerves in my hands but also in my neck because every now and again I get a spasm in my neck on the left hand side right by my collar bone that makes me twitch quite badly, so I don't to sure if getting the hand surgery is just going to make it a hole lot worse, please if you could help me with some advice I would be grateful and thank you for your videos and for the time you putting into making them because it seems to me you the only doctor on youtube that studied on carpal tunnel and has the correct answers.

Just had my surgery yesterday. I didn't get a dressing..I got a bandaid. I had carpal tunnel and tendonitis surgery. My incisions doesn't hurt at all. My main pain is swollen. And I didn't get any pain medicine.

@earthsucks9555 Ай бұрын

Just curious You had your surgery 4 weeks ago? How do you feel? Did your symptoms subside? Numbness anymore?

@RestingVirgoFace Ай бұрын

I had an open release but I had a cubital tunnel surgery done at the same time.

@aitkenangie158 26 күн бұрын

I also had both done. It was 2 different nerves

@godismycompass 10 күн бұрын

I had the same 6 days ago. My palm hurts if I use it. I took my bandages off on the 3rd day and just have water proof bandaids over both incisions now.

Great video I am not even 24 hours postop😂! And I’m sure I’m going to fall into that overly cautious category but definitely will try to stretch ! Glad I cooked the morning of my operation 👏🏼 so I have left overs 😮‍💨

Hi, its been almost 5 weeks since the surgery and i still have noticable swelling in the wrist. Wound is healing well and getting massaged regularly but is the swelling normal?

@VirtualHandCare 4 ай бұрын

Yes, swelling is normal for several weeks, usually even a few months.

Is bruising on the forearm normal?

@VirtualHandCare 19 күн бұрын

Yes, you can get bruising and swelling in the forearm but it can often just be blood that settled in certain areas once the tourniquette was released.

Hi Michele I have polio and I use my hands and arms to get up from my scooter and chairs. Would I be risking damage to my stitches if I continued to do same immediately after surgery? Is there a way around my problem? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

@VirtualHandCare 4 ай бұрын

Putting a lot of pressure on the stitches could possible affect the healing or just make it take a little longer. But your doctor may leave them in longer, have you keep your post op dressings on longer for added protection, maybe use a different suture technique, etc. There are a lot of ways to keep your incision protected.

Anyone have worsened numbness of the fingers? Did it go away?

@KAR-KAT 17 күн бұрын

I had it done Tuesday. Today is Thursday. Now the severe nighttime numbness has went away. But my thumb and two fingers are tingling nonstop for two days now.

I'm thinking maybe try using the left hand even if it feels awkward.. probably less painful than the right hand

@godismycompass 10 күн бұрын

I went on a liquid diet 1 day before and 3 days after my surgery simply because I didn't want to have to go #2. The pain meds probably helped me stay poop free until I could wipe again!!! 😂
