Common Questions and Answers about Finger pain carpal tunnel
finger
It can be due to nerve compression which can be due to carpal tunnel syndrome. This occurs due increased pressure on the nerve secondary to hereditary, hypothyroidism, obesity etc. The other possibilities are diabetes, vitamin B5 and B12 deficiency and fibromyalgia.
You need to undergo evaluation like thyroid status, blood sugar, CSF analysis and certain serological tests.
I'm 38 weeks and 3days from the last few days I have really bad pain in my right hand wrist nerve which leads to middle finger and thumb I can't even hold a glass of water or twist my right hand and it gets worse at night. I have mentioned this to my midwife but she didn't say anything and write down in my notes which says Carpal tunnel I search about this online but couldn't find anything.
Hi
There can be several causes for numbness of the index finger such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Peripheral Neuropathy, Multiple Sclerosis, Peripheral Vascular Disease, Frostbite, Raynaud's Phenomenon and vasculitis.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common source of hand numbness and pain. It is due to the increased pressure on the median nerve that enters the hand through the carpal tunnel.
I have 3 weeks left and i have been experiencing carpal tunnel. Doc said its normal due to more fluid and pressure on my nerves from the baby. Ihave been taking tylenol and using ben gay. My dad got me a copper bracelet which is used to reduce inflamation..works well! Anyone else going tbrough this and if so any tips to get rid of the pain ??
Typing injury, or Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI) refers to a wide range of problems, of which Carpal Tunnel is the most well known. Symptoms involve pain in the hands and arms when typing and using the mouse, and generally end up making many daily activities painful or impossible. Burning, numbness, or tingling in your palm, wrist, thumb, or fingers also are the common symptoms encountered by most patients.
These symptoms are suggestive of carpal tunnel syndrome, which is due to median nerve compression in the carpal tunnel at the wrist. Since median nerve is responsible for feeling and movement of the palm, thumb, index, middle finger and the thumb side of the ring finger, these areas may be affected. You have been engaged in repetitive hand and wrist movements, which can trigger the onset.
Hello.
Carpal tunnel syndrome seems a bit unlikely here. The pain seems to originate from the forearm. Does it originate somewhere around the elbow joint?
Have you been using this particular arm or forearm excessively recently? If yes, this could be a muscular pain, which can be cured by giving rest to the arm and some massage.
I have experienced carpal tunnel syndrome with my pregnancy too.. its been for the last few months, but no where near as bad as yours sounds! Poor thing!
Mine is worse early morning/night.. I've got weakness in my arms, numb finger tips and my middle finger and thumb are especially painful and often get stuck when I bend them.Luckily I haven't needed splints.
I'm 38 weeks and this last week started getting carpal tunnel. It's become almost unbearable and can't even move my fingers at night they hurt so bad. They hurt during the day also just not as bad. I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to take care of my baby when he comes.
The pins and needles with numbness can also be from carpal tunnel problems. When the carpal tunnel gets inflamed or thickened, the nerves inside of the carpal tunnel get pinched and this causes the pins and needles and numbness in the fingers. Problems in the little finger are usually from trapped nerves in the neck area.
The nerve conduction tests will identify if you have carpal tunnel.
Make sure that you support your wrist and hand.
It depends on where the pain and numbness is. There is a cause of numbness of the index finger and middle finger called carpal tunnel syndrome. It usually also has sensory changes of the palm at the thumb, index and middle fingers, and the ring finger on the side near the middle finger. I am not sure if you have these other features or not, but I will elaborate on this.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a compression/entrapment syndrome of the median nerve at the wrist.
s carpal is that the thumb through the middle finger side of the ring finger goes numb, somtimes the other side of the ring finger also, and the pinkie is not affectred at all. I remember the hand being very painful and "hot" when it came back from being numb.
You might try starting another thread so people who have had TTs can respond to you.
Have you been spending lots of time on a computer, word processor, or keyboard lately? If so, you may have some carpal tunnel symptoms going on, that typically presents with the thumb, index and middle finger symptoms. At any rate, it would probably be a great idea to go to your primary care physician and get evaluated for this problem. He/she will be able to some DTR's on that extremity to check for nerve related issues. Good luck to you!
Your clinical presentation sounds like carpal tunnel syndrome. This manifests as pain and paresthesias in the distribution of the median nerve, which includes the thumb, index, and middle fingers. Carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms usually occur while holding an object or gripping a steering wheel for extended periods of time. They also tend to occur at night and may wake you during the night, or you may notice the numbness when you wake up in the morning.
18th for those very symptoms. I had carpal tunnel and ulna nerve release sugeries. In 2005 I had arthoscopy surgery on my left shoulder due to spurs and my right shoulder in 2006. My reg Dr. sent me for a nerve test forget the name EMT?? not sure. Was diagnoised with the carpal tunnel and ulna nerve thing. Have insisions in hand and elbow( haven't seen yet) More annoying than painful but can lead to more serious problems.
