Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Well it MAY..the real question is can you Medically prove that one you didn't have carpal tunnel syndrome before the job switch and more importantly can you prove that the job switched caused the CTS and not just aggravated it or that hobbies or non-work related activities didn't cause your carpal tunnel symptoms? Every state is different, so you need to go to your states website (ie state.gov) It has pretty much been determined that computer work does not routinely CAUSE carpal tunnel. Harvard did a landmark study that you can find. Many lawyers still claim it does....but the cases have gone down quite a bit from the 90's when everybody was jumping on the ol keyboard bandwagon.

* Carpal Tunnel Syndrome * A bad sprain * Arthritis * Your arm was run over by a sherman tank * You were shot in the arm * You have an excessively large animal chewing on your arm

Degenerative disc disease or DDD pertains only to the spine..so you wouldn't have it all over your body, but it is common to have it in more than one place in your spine. People will have it usually in the neck and lumbar regions. If in the neck and depending on what nerves are effected it can mimic carpal tunnel syndrome. So it is important to obtain NCS/EMG studies and physical exam for an accurate diagnosis.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is initially treated with splints, which support the wrist and prevent it from flexing inward into the position that exacerbates median nerve compression.

Had carpel tunnel surgery and radial release surgery same day do I get settelmemt for each one

Well your hand falls asleep because the cut off of blood circulation in the blood vein. So like if you have you arm on a corner for a certain amount of time it causes your are to fall asleep.

You should see your surgeon or his PA to find out if it is just tissue inflammation from the surgery or an actual infection requiring antibiotics.

These are really 2 different things..so yes it is possible. Your CTS surgery did not cause the nodules if that's what you are asking. Trigger finger is caused by nodules on the flexor tendons of the fingers. CTS is typically caused by compression on the median nerve in your wrist (carpal tunnel) area.

Intermittent compression of abdominal vessels by the median arcuate ligament of the diaphragm, especially the celiac artery. Occurs during expiration.

yes

yes,the braces help to stopped the hands from turning to fists.

Pain and numbness in the right arm could be caused by a shortness of blood supply. Nerve damage can also be associated with these symptoms.

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.

You can, however it would not do a great deal to aleviate the problem.

Some individuals notice a shooting pain which goes from the wrist up the arm, or down into the hand and fingers.

You SHOULD feel the difference right away and be one the road to recovery, me other hand has to have a second surgery done (last one was done in August) due to the first surgery was not successful, this time I have an actual hand surgeon doing it.

Yes, any prolonged strenuous activity on the hands can cause carpal tunnel, such as typing.

A fracture caused by repeated injuries or repeated motions, which would not have occurred with a single injury, would be called a repetitive stress injury. Some examples of repetitive stress injuries are pitcher's elbow and carpal tunnel syndrome.

I assume you mean carpal tunnel syndrome? The carpal tunnel is simply the area affected by the problem. There can be many causes of this, none of which are affected by the use of magnets. There has been no evidence to show that magnets help carpal tunnel at all. There has been double blind studies where the doctor nor the patient knows if they have the "real treatment" or the "fake treatment", and at the end they look at both groups..if the fake or placebo group does just as good or better than the tested or real treatment, you know it doesn't work. This type of study has been done with magnets to no avail.

Sir James Paget first reported median nerve compression at the wrist following a distal radius fracture in 1854. Acute trauma to the wrist such as fractures can cause swelling, bleeding and physical pressure on the median nerve. There are many other causes of carpal tunnel syndrome other than fractures.

Well that is kind of an open-ended question. Usually it is more common in females 2:1 in their 40-50's. They may have a history of repetitive hand use either with hobbies or occupation. Also diabetics are at a much higher risk of getting CTS. Other risk factors can be pregnancy, obesity, arthritis, wrist fractures and hypothyroidism.

No. "Carpal" refers to the bones in the hands. Carpal tunnel syndrome only affects from the wrist/s forward to the fingers and nowhere else. Believe me, I know because I had it as well as the surgery in both hands to correct it.
