A member asked:
The numbness, pain and weakness are bothering me alot. am on proper medication and what post carpal tunnel exercises would you suggest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: If the median nerve compression was present for a lengthy period prior to surgery, then the numbness may take up to a year to appreciably improve. Exercises have little help except to preserve or recover normal wrist motions. The fact you have weakness and residual numbness suggests the recovery period will take some time.
