Question 7

can de quervain's tenosynovitis come back after surgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes but unlikely: The operation for dequervain's involves decompressing the first extensor compartment of the wrist. Sometimes, the two tendons in this compartment are in separate sub-compartments; if both are not decompressed, symptoms may continue. Also, if the sheath over the tendons scars back and becomes tight again, symptoms may recur, but this is rare.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Unfortunately carpal tunnel syndrome (cts) may recur in a small population of patients.

The good news is that most patients do well with open carpal tunnel release surgery in the case of recurrence.

Question 10

can breast cancer come back after surgery , chemotherapy and radiation, after 2 month?

Accepted Answer

It's possible: After surgery and radiation it is common to be left with a mass at the site, sometimes scar tissue, sometimes fluid-filled area (seroma).  However it is important for your oncologist to do an exam to evauate if there is cause for concern.  Whatever signs/symptoms you may have should be addressed by your medical oncologist in a timely manner.  Good luck! I hope all turns out well!
