Day 4 post-op ganglion removal on dorsal wrist hand tingly and swollen .. . dressing and ace band comes off today what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
FIRST contact your: surgeon. if today is a follow up day make sure you do so. Tightening bandages, failure to ice and elevate, failure to move fingers if permitted, channeled to swelling and in turn tingling. Even so swelling can occur anyway despite doing these things. Your surgeonmay even tel you to loosen the badge a bit BUT The most important thing is to contact your surgeon.If you can't seek help elsewhere
