What Causes Pain In The Palms After A Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery?

Hi, I had carpal tunnel release and ganglion cyst removal surgery on my left hand, this was done on 3/1/17. It has been 2 weeks and I m having more pain which is in the palm of my hand, my thumb and the pinky side of my hand up my arm. The incision for the carpal tunnel was not in my palm but at the base of my hand on the wrist off center. I also have bruising in the palm of my hand and on my forearm, there s also two lumps (one above, one below) the carpal tunnel incision. I m worried that something is wrong due to the pain and bruising. I ve had CTR on my right hand 4years ago by a different surgeon and I was not in this much pain and the incision was in my palm of my hand. Is this normal?

Hello,

Consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.

We have to rule out possibilities like nerve entrapment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
