Ihad rradial tunnel decompression and i still have hand spasms and weaknesses. i can feel partial numbness on two fingers. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time since surgery: In severe cases of carpal tunnel, expect a release procedure to take several months for your symptoms of compression to completely abate. During this interum, it may be prudent to continue a non-steroidal antiimflammatant, or even a short course of an oral corticosteroid. If after 8-10 weeks you still are unhappy with the outcome from your procedure, consider a follow up visit to discuss with dr.
