Normal: Usually after the surgery you may have those symptoms because of the manipulaton of the nerve in the carpal tunnel or wrist. For how long, it depends. Follow the instructions of the surgeon or wear a cock up splint for relief.

Normal: Some residual tingling is common after surgery and usually resolves with time. Let your surgeon know about your symptoms but these typically resolve as the healing process progresses.
