SSS Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 My symptoms are worse in the morning, complete numbness and chronic pins and needles in both hands for 10 minutes or so. I'll try and get another doctors appointment at some point and ask about surgery. Looks like the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerdeor Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I had carpel tunnel many moons ago,after many test's I rested it and it went away.I was told by the specialist that you dont get numbness in your little finger when suffering with carpel tunnel. However 6 months ago I was waking in the night with numb lower fore arm and hand,had a quick google it pointed towards tennis elbow,after a bit more research I started taking double dose of omega 3,within a week the issue had subsided signficantly so worth a go for some of chaps hth Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keg Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Had it in both hands, down to manual work when i was a youth on the farm. It used to wake me up at night, felt like somone was hammering a nail up each finger. Had the op on both hands in my early 30s and not had a peep since. Somone mentioned spanking the monkey... the great thing was, for a while it felt like somone else's hand and i didn't have to sit on it fiorst for ten mins Coat...gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amateur Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I've had both hands operated on - ten years apart, and I'm told that it was the years of riding vibratory motorbikes wot caused it. The first op was done when I was in BUPA, and I opted to be heavily sedated - so it took a good day for me to feel OK afterwards. The other hand was NHS, with a local anaesthetic and I was chatting to the surgeon as he was operating - and then found out that this was the first one that he had done. Fortunately he had his consultant supervising and telling him what to do - and it went well, if anything his stitching was neater So - is the op worth it? Well if you want to struggle on with a numb tingly hand, then give the op a miss, otherwise just do it. But check first that the surgeon isn't a beginner!

SSS Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 I think I'd prefer local to general anaesthetic if truth be told. I've never had surgery of any description so it's a scary thought anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
