Do you have problems with carpal tunnel syndrome? Take advantage of the short appointment times at Premier Clinic plastic surgery clinic.
In carpal tunnel syndrome, a person’s tendons connecting muscles and bones in the hand swell. Typical symptoms include loss of sensation in the fingers, you may feel tingling, burning, numbness at night, and later increasingly severe pain may be added. Do not delay treatment or carpal tunnel surgery itself. Thanks to surgery, you will start functioning normally again.
Carpal tunnel syndrome can occur, for example, after a wrist injury, inflammation of tendons and ligaments, but an increasingly common cause of its development is chronic wrist overload due to inappropriate ergonomics when working with a computer. The risk group also includes people who work with vibrating tools – with jackhammers, grinders, tampers, chainsaws, pneumatic hammers, etc. Untreated carpal tunnel syndrome can represent a problem not only from a health perspective, but also economic. For example, a full-time graphic designer with carpal tunnel syndrome will have difficulty performing their work, so it is important to address symptoms at the very beginning. If an individual does not rest their hand during initial symptoms, which first begin to manifest on individual fingers – thumb, index finger and middle finger, the problem may develop and surgery will be necessary.

After carpal tunnel surgery, it is important to maintain rest and recovery of the operated hand. It is recommended to move it gently regularly to prevent joint stiffness and improve circulation. The surgical site may initially be swollen, bruising or mild pain may occur, which should gradually subside. If necessary, prescribed pain medications can be taken. It is also important to monitor the wound, keep it clean and dry, and avoid excessive physical exertion until approved by the doctor. Follow-up examination usually takes place 7-14 days after the procedure.
