Best Answer

Typically No..but it can depend on many factors. Like previous hand/wrist conditions and surgery history. Severity of CTS BEFORE surgery. Type of surgery. Complications of surgery. Some people will develop scar tissue or adhesions inside the wrist where the surgery was done. This is like a spider web of scar tissue. It is best addressed AS your are healing by performing friction rub technique to scar area. Basically get some vitamin E cream or scar cream and use other thumb to rub rather forcefully for several minutes 2-3 x day for several wks..the thought is that it will break up any scar tissue forming. You may also benefit from CTS exercises that will stretch this area. Check with your provider or PT.

Should you be able to open your jaw very wide after wisdom teeth removal If you can't open your teeth more than an inch 3 days after removal is this normal?

From my experience with wisdom teeth removal, yes, it is very normal. I can't even tell you how long it was before I was able to open my jaw wide like before. Not only do the stitches in your mouth keep the skin very tight, you're also going to have a stiff jaw from having your mouth open through the surgery! It is normal to have decreased function of your mouth for a while after surgery. But definitely talk to your dentist if you think something is really not normal.
