A member asked:
I had capital tunnel surgery today. my thumb pointer and middle fingers are still really swollen and hard to move. is this normal?

Radial nerve distrib: That is the exact distribution of your radial nerve which is one of the nerves that was being compressed by your carpal tunnel. Get your surgeon to examine you immediately! He may have to go in and open up that area and relieve any pressure on the nerve.
