Carpel tunnel
I had carpal tunnel surgery a year ago and my right hand 🫱 it’s completely numb. Please advise I’m a bit scared. It’s not painful or anything just numbness. This started earlier this morning and I don’t think it’s an emergency

@spiney79 This is just speculation on my part, as I have periodically numbness, but you may have slept with your hand, wrist, arm or neck in an odd position that temporarily pinched or irritated a nerve.
If you have no other symptoms, and it does not ease in a day or two, it might be time to call your doctor's office for advice.

2 ReactionsI’d contact your physician or the team that did the surgery. Numbness may not be an emergency but it can be stressful and can make you drop things.

1 ReactionYes, not likely an emergency, but sometimes it can become permanent if not treated.

Hi , After a Surgery maybe you should call and inform your Doctor your Doctor would probably be better qualified to help. Hope things get better

1 Reaction@spiney79 If you are still seeking answers, it might be worth asking about thoracic outlet syndrome. I have TOS and it was missed at the time of my surgery. I had carpal tunnel surgery and still had tinging in my hands and my hands turning blue. This is a nerve and vessel compression that acts on the same nerves that affect carpal tunnel. I have done physical therapy for the TOS which has helped a lot.
