Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that causes pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and wrist. It happens when there is increased pressure within the wrist on a nerve called the median nerve. This nerve provides sensation to the thumb, index, and middle fingers, and to half of the ring finger. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Exercises to Relieve Pain
Share on Pinterest
The cubital tunnel is located in the elbow and is a 4-millimeter passageway between the bones and tissue.
It encases the ulnar nerve, one of the nerves that supplies feeling and movement to the arm and hand. The ulnar nerve runs from the neck to the shoulder, down the back of the arm, around the inside of the elbow and ends at the hand in the fourth and fifth fingers. Due to the narrow opening of the cubital tunnel,...more

Doctors recommend surgery for pcos in a very rare case as it may damage your ovaries. Meanwhile, pcos involves laparoscopic ovarian drilling that uses a laser to destroy parts of the ovary. Ovolution can be triggered by destroying the areas of the ovary.

Neurobion forte is a good vitamin b complex tablet. In subjects with diabetes, there is a tendency for vitamin b12 deficiency and the associated problems with it. It's advisable to be on regular vitamin b complex tablets on the recommended doses. This would help to prevent neuropathy (nerve damage) in the long run.

I have hand problems, to undersimplify. I have dequervain’s bilateral, dupuytrens on the rh (radiated, no more issues) and cyst on the top of my wrist on lh. My physiatrist told me I have a slight carpal tunnel syndrome (no symptoms) and the beginnings of osteoarthritis bi lateral (not enough to cause symptoms). Apart from dequervains pain, I have pain in my index finger rh especially when I flex it. It feels, I can’t describe it any better, like I have a tight glove on and it is hard to flex (i had to switch the mouse button side). I had an mri more than 5 years ago and it revealed tenosynovitis of the said index finger and some fluid deposited around the tendons of all my fingers. But here is the real puzzling affliction, I seem to have some kind of generalized tendonitis bi lateral and the pain seems to occur for no reason. Also I get injured too easily. For example, today, while I was sweeping the floor the inside of my left thumb and under my index finger down to my palm, started to hurt badly. Every so often when I grab something with force (or just in an awkward way) the knuckles at the base of my fingers in the palm of my hands hurt. I thought it was the osteoarthritis but I finally realized it was actually the tendons being compressed. I’ve looked everywhere for something that could explain this strange “all tendons inflamed” disease to no avail. I had a failed dequervains surgery, physiotherapy and all kinds of nsaid”s and methylprednisolone course twice. They’ve only injected once bilateral for dequervain’s. I’ve been trying to get them to inject me in the other problem areas but they simply ignore me. Any ideas?

1. For your dq's, you can get operated and tendons can be released instantly. It's a short procedure, not so costly and very effective.
2. For your forefinger pain, I think carpal tunnel syndrome could be the cause. Get your never conduction velocity and electromyography of that upper limb done.
3. Also get yourself checked for diabetes and thyroid, uric acid, rheumatoid arthritis
4. Osteoarthritis is not common in young individuals except post trauma.

The recovery from carpal tunnel surgery takes time – anywhere from several weeks to several months. If the nerve has been compressed for a long period of time, recovery may take even longer. Recovery involves splinting your wrist and getting physical therapy to strengthen and heal the wrist and hand.
You should not take deflazacort frequently as it is strong steroid
