A major set of nerves run through a small tunnel of cartilage in the wrists.  Carpel Tunnel is a condition in witch the tissue in the tunnel swells and pinches the nerves.  This can cause numbness in the hand, loss of motor skills in the fingers, pain in the wrist and arm.  But there are other things that could cause the pain you described including arthritis.  \n\nYes, if it is carpel the operation works.  The operation cuts open the tunnel and removes a small section of it.  this prevents the nerves from being pinched and the symptoms go away.

try a wrist rest cushion.

Yes it can be done without the injection, I do it all the time I hate being numb.  If you have really sensitive teeth it could be quite bothersome though

Go to a chiropractor. I have carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, had sciatica during pregnancy, and plantar fasciitis in the foot. All symptoms of pinched nerves somewhere. The chiropractor will adjust your spine, neck, wrist or whatever (go for a full adjustment) hurts. The body works as a whole system and not separate systems of skeletal, muscular and nervous systems acting independently. The chiropractor adjusts the bones so that the nerves will not be pinched anywhere, and will massage the muscles which have built up lactic acid causing a lot of tension. You will need a few adjustments initially. He/she will pop your neck and spine, but don't do this on your own, because some people do this sudden twisting of their necks to relieve tension. That's dangerous. \n\nTell the chiropractor all your physical aches and pains. If you are in Toronto I can give you the name of my chiropractors, a brother-sister team who are really great chiropractics and utterly wonderful people!  I would rather see them than a regular doctor who will give you a fast prescription rather than holistic treatment.

trigger thumb can be treated by injecting a combo of steroids and a local anesthetic in the thickening tendon sheath.  About 2/3 of patients will be relieved with 1 injection if not then in 1 week a 2nd injection can be administered if no relief then surgical management is appropriate hopefully you are in the 2/3 category good luck and God bless

it sounds similar to carpal tunnel, do you use computers a lot or do a  job with ripetitive movements of your wrist? see the doctor because the earliest it is caught the better the treatment process before too much damage to the nerve is done.

Nope... unless u do it 10 times a day.  then u should worry about carpal tunnel.

Steroid and Lidocaine injections at the site of the pain. M.D. can refer you to a pain clinic that does this, and they can give relief for months before going back for another. I have gotten them for years and they really help!\n(It's not painful either)

Could be carpel tunnel syndrome, get it looked at by another doctor...;

Hi, please don't worry yourself too much, it really isn't that bad. Stubbing your toe or elbow hurts more than the injection and then you will just fall asleep, easy. \n\nYou could try taking some 'Kalms' tablets to help with the panicky feeling in the lead up to the date, you can get them in Tesco or Boots or any chemist. Check if you can take them before having the anesthetic though. Please don't work yourself up over it, you will only make yourself think it will be worse than it actually is.

I suppose it depends...i had it done on my right hand,then my left 2 months later.Both times i returned to work 3 days later.Not by choice,we had to eat,but i did fine.Unless you have very small wrists,they go in at the palm of your hand,at the lifeline...maybe that made a difference with my recovery also.\nHowever,carpal tunnel was not the only problem.  I have thoracic outlet syndrome...I can't seem to find a doc to help me.\nIt has become very painful.Most of the symptoms feel the same,only my hands don't stay numb and tingly,they BURN.it extends to the neck and shoulders and causes migraines and a lot of misery.....If there are any questions about your nerve conduction studies or other tests you may have had done ,you may want to mention thoracic outlet to your doctor.Physical therapy can help a lot if it doesn't get too advanced.\nGood Luck with surgery...It will be worth it in my opinion.It did fix my CT :)

The reason most cases of carpal tunnel don't resolve is because most cases are not actually a problem in the wrist.  I understand the wrist is where the pain is, but as an alternative doctor, I have treated this condition so many times, and most cases are a problem with one of the three areas:\n\n1.) A problem in the neck causing irritation of the median nerve at its origin, but felt in the fingers.\n\n2.) A problem with the wrist bones being fixated / locked in the wrong position.\n\n3.) A problem at the elbow were the hands muscles for  flexion/extension are attached.\n\n\nIf you can afford a doctor, go see a chiropractor. Most of the time Carpal Tunnel cases are fixed in 3-5 visits.  At my office this means about $150-$200.  If you go to an M.D. you will get an anti-inflammatory, a wrist brace, and possibly a referral for P.T.  Most of the time a NCV test is negative, but they still cut on you.  If it is positive for nerve entrapment, make sure you have a "Two Stich" surgery.  There is no longer a need to slice the wrist open, and the two stich gets you back to work the next day instead of the typical two weeks.\n\nHome Therapies:  \n1.) Vitamin B6 helps reduce swelling, particulary in the wrist -in addition to OTC anti-inflammatory.  Most of the time the inflammation is the reaction of an the injury. \n\n2.) Wrist Traction -  Gently traction the wrist.  This can be done by a friend, or by using a hand towel, but gently and slowly traction the wrist to help take pressure off the joints.\n\n3.) Use an ice cube and message the outer part of your arm at the elbow.  This will help reduce inflammation, and help eliminate significant adhesions in the muscle.\n\n4.) Use the wrist brace when using your hands a lot, and while sleeping at night, but do not wear it all the time.  This is a sure way of making the problem worse.  Wrist motion in limited use will help, not hurt.\n\nLast bit of advice -  True carpal tunnel affect only the thumb, index, and middle finger.  If you have pain in the small finger - this is not carpal tunnel, but almost assured a problem in the neck.\n\nGood luck -\n\nemail me if you need a referral of a good doctor in your are.\n\ndrvandenhoek@yahoo.com

My sister had carpel tunnel and she had systs on her wrist like you are referring to.  Carpel tunnel affevts people in different ways it depends on how bad it is.

There is a diagnostic test that will determine true carpal tunnel syndrome. It is called EMG/NCV, or nerve conduction study. If it is true carpal tunnel syndrome, conservative measures will give temporary relief, but surgery is usually the answer to complete pain relief.

It sounds like you have a strain, with some minor inflamation, which is putting pressure on the nerve.\n\nAcupuncture is especially effective in this type of situation. If you don't want to seek outside care, you\ncould try acupressure and massage, at home.  \n\nOf course, if there is still swelling you should ice your hand.  Whether there's swelling or not, soaking your hand in warm water and epsom salts will help.  Especially in conjunction with massage afterward. Massage up the tendon line from the affected finger tip.  And, do make sure to include the wrist and forearm if you feel that the stress-line runs up into your arm.  Good luck!\n\nGood luck!
