yes
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is not known to cause bruising. Possibly you had a small injury and didn't notice it at the time.
Pain or numbness appears in the thumb and fingers, although the cause is farther up the arm, where the median nerve passes through the carpal tunnel from the wrist to the upper hand.
The median runs through the carpal tunnel. It supplies the thumb side of the hand.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome itself is the swelling of the carpal tunnel, which causes the nerves held within to be pinched, causing discomfort, and possible weakness in primarily the thumb and index finger. Generally takes place in your primary hand.Swelling of the hand is generally not a part of CTS, but often other issues may accompany CTS such as rheumatoid arthritis (which can cause restricted blood flow to the affected areas).Regardless, it is recommended you see a physician.
The floor of the carpal tunnel is made up of (from the pinky side of the wrist to the thumb side, respectively) the hamate bone, capitate bone, trapezoid bone, and trapezium bone.These bones make up the "distal row" of carpal bones and form the floor of the tunnel at the mid-portion of the transverse carpal ligament - the structure cut by the surgeon during carpal tunnel surgery.

The structure described is likely the carpal tunnel, a narrow passageway in the wrist formed by the carpal bones and the transverse carpal ligament. It houses the median nerve and the tendons that control finger movement. Pressure on this structure can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome, causing pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand.
In carpal tunnel syndrome the tendons and ligaments of the wrist restricts the space for the nerves that go to the fingers and thumb, as a consequence the nerve's ability to transmit impulses are affected.
The carpal tunnel. :)
if u hit is hard on something it will swell.
Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome include numbness, burning, tingling, and a prickly pin-like sensation over the palm surface of the hand, and into the thumb, forefinger, middle finger, and half of the ring finger.
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
