Nerve pain: There are times when scar tissue causes intermittent pressure on a nerve going through the tunnel, or tendons are not sliding through as free as they should. I advice you discuss this with your surgeon.

Neuritis: You may have compression neuritis or tendonits of the wrist. In any case, you should be checked by an orthoped surgeon. Ok to use advil or aleve (naproxen) if you are not allergic.

Fibrosis and: Recurrence can occur if the surgery was done endoscopically. A nerve conduction study with an inching study can help sort this out. Talk with your doctor.
