Unable to bend my thumb after carpal tunnel release?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Very worried!: A sudden change in function after a surgery is cause for concern. While pain can limit some function you should be able to move your thumb even though it may hurt. If you really can't move your thumb, let your surgeon know immediately. If still not satisfied, get another opinion

Not enough info: What can you not bend, all the joints or some of the joints? How is your thumb's pinch strength? Did the surgery help your numbness?
