Should there be thumb numbness post carpal tunnel release after 2 weeks?
I'm not sure if you are saying that there is NEW thumb numbness or if you are saying that the thumb numbness you had from your carpal tunnel syndrome condition is still there? If the latter yes it can be normal and it may take several weeks to months but it should gradually improve once that compression on the median nerve has been released. If it's new, then possibly the median nerve still has some swelling and inflammation about the nerve from the surgery itself, and it should improve as your condition improves. The other possibility is that the median nerve was knicked, which is a risk factor for carpal tunnel surgery
