Hello
As there is no relief with CTS surgery ,there is possibility of associated tenosynovitis.
Tenosynovitis is due inflammation and swelling of tendon .swelling on tendon may not reduce with medication alone.
Local steroid injection can give good results added with physiotherapy protocol
Use of machine can reduce your pain and swelling, you can ask your physio for wax bath therapy
Use ice packs to reduce swelling, inflammation and pain.
Physiotherapy with ultrasound and Tens will help you,
For early healing you can take Tab celin [vit C] and antioxidant with anti-inflammatory [Tab enzomac plus ].
MRI cervical spine will help you.
