Nerve pain damage after hand surgery

Posted by magicearth @magicearth, 22 hours ago

I’m 12 weeks out from thumb surgery, LRTI, ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition. I’m experiencing severe burning and tingling and some numbness at the base of my thumb and into my lower hand. I’m hoping this is just the nerves recovering and it will go away gradually, but it is pretty hard to tolerate. I’m wondering if anybody has any advice on what to do to deal with the pain and also any advice on supplements to help my nerves to heal.

Hello,
So sorry about what you’re experiencing; however, have you told the surgeon who performed your procedure an outside what’s going on and if it’s normal. You might also want to ask what you can do about it.
Wish you the best and take care,
