This is not too uncommon, sometimes the itching can be from the soaps used to clean your hand for surgery..it may take a week or or so but in some people it will cause a mild rash or itching. Also it could be from the skin being dried out or eczema. Also the skin in that area was kind of stretched so this sometimes irritates the nerves causing an itchy sensation later on. There's not a whole lot to be worried about and it should go away. Try soaking area in epson salts with warm water 2 x day, then apply neurtogena concentrated hand cream.
carpal tunnel surgery
"Jeopardy!" fans wondering what's wrong with show host Alex Trebek's right hand - he's been wearing a small brace this week - can relax. Trebek had some "minor hand surgery" relating to carpal tunnel syndrome, a show spokesman tells me.
Carpal tunnel surgery is a procedure aimed at relieving pressure on the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This condition, known as carpal tunnel syndrome, can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand and fingers. The surgery typically involves cutting the transverse carpal ligament to enlarge the tunnel, thereby alleviating symptoms and restoring function. It can be performed using traditional open techniques or minimally invasive endoscopic methods.
Carpal Tunnel wrist supports can be purchased on Amazon. They provide support to achy wrists and help to relieve some pains and symptoms associated with Carpal Tunnel.
Not sure but would like to know. I had CP surgery 3 days ago and I have bruising
I would make sure and get a 2nd opinion from a hand ortho..to make sure your symptoms are caused by carpal tunnel syndrome and not something else! Also each time you have surgery you increase the chances of complications and scar tissue formation (adhesions) which can also cause compression around the carpal tunnel area.
You can find out a lot of information about this surgery by visiting their website. You will have to set up a consultation to find out how much the surgery will be for your needs.
The median runs through the carpal tunnel. It supplies the thumb side of the hand.
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve in the wrist becomes compressed due to inflammation and swelling of the tendons in the carpal tunnel. This can lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand and arm. Treatment may involve rest, splinting, and in some cases, surgery.
Many individuals develop carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands. For some the condition is worse in the dominant hand.
Carpal tunnel syndrome involves the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel—a narrow passageway in the wrist formed by the carpal bones and the transverse carpal ligament. When the tunnel becomes compressed due to swelling or other factors, it can lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers. This condition is often associated with repetitive wrist movements or conditions that cause inflammation. Treatment may include splinting, corticosteroid injections, or surgery to relieve pressure on the median nerve.
Carpel tunnel surgery is usually done by an orthopaedic surgeon. Other types of surgeons who perform carpal tunnel release surgery: - plastic surgeon - general surgeon specializing in hand surgery These three types of surgeons will often seek additional certification from groups like the American Society for Surgery of the hand (http://www.assh.org). They may have what is called a "Certificate of Additional Qualifications" in hand surgery, or CAQ. This certification or membership in the ASSH guarantees nothing in terms of quality, but indicates they have spent extra time and effort improving their education in the field of hand surgery and shows some degree of passion for treating your particular problem.
