Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Frozen Finger After Carpal Tunnel Surgery?
I had carpal tunnel surgery two weeks ago today.My index finger is frozen.At first (over a week) it was hotter than the other fingers.Now it's cold. Is this normal? My doctor is on vacation during the holidays.In the evenings the pain and dull aching sensation is miserable.
I have studied your case. You may be having these sensations because of some traction on the median nerve. Do not worry. it is not a serious issue. Till that time you can take symptomatic treatment in form of tablet Pregabalin M at night time. Also continue physiotherapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Naveen Kumar Sharma
