Will Surgery On Nerve Bring Back Sensation On Fingers?

I had surgery on my right wrist to remove a burning cyst, the Dr. said that because my thumb and fore finger were numb that removing it would not give me back my feeling in my thumb and fore finger. He said that my problem is c-6 in my neck, after he removed the burning lump it began to burn and he said that would go away. I WENT BACK TO THIS dR. ABOUT TO HAVE SURGERY ON MY LEFT meniscus THAT WAS LOCKED, I ask him about the burning from removal of cyst after surgery and he said it s your c-6 in your and I said that I had surgery on c-6 and got no relief. He said go to this highly rated Dr. and see what he rells you, so I did and he ordered an MRI AND SAIDLETS TRY CORTOSONE SHOTS AND REPORT BACK TO ME. I HAVE HAD 1 SHOT THAT DID NOT HELP AND I AM GETTING ANOTHER THIS MONDAY. The cyst is on top of my radial nerve and my neurologist said that he damaged the nerve when he removed the cyst. I don t know what I should do. PLEASE GIVE ME A DIRECTION THAT I SHOULD GO FOR, my new neck Dr. said he would do surgery from in front of my neck , the first one was behind my neck 2 years ago called a formical or he drilled a hole near the nerve c-6 to release pressure on the nerve. Is the surgery on my wrist that causes burning and swelling in my thumb and fore finger permanetly or would a 2nd surgery on my neck help. The pathologist that examined the burning lump from my wrist said it s consistant with Lipoma but he s never seen one like it. I don t know who to believe....!!

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist 's  Response
hi,

as you mentioned your history in detail it was kind of you. I am wondered that why haven't you tried physical therapy. as physical therapist have something called the sensory integration techniques which adds on some improvements in patients with sensory dysfunction.

also to mention, that sensory system is a complex system to under stand treat with. It is totally depending upon how the body's cellular mechanism is formed and moving. also, by undergoing the sensory integration techniques followed by physical therapist will possibly help you further. but the formation of the network between the sensory system and the brain is totally depending upon how the body is reacting to the sensory input.

Also, you have a spinal disc degenerative changes, for which the strengthening the muscles of the cervical spine needs an alert. Also by doing simple neck exercises the compression from the nerve is released. Also to make use of breathing exercises helps for strengthening the accessory muscles of respiration, as these muscles also provide support to the neck to hold the head onto it.

with the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery.
