I went to see three different surgeons (one was a hand specialist) and got three different suggestions for my thumb. They each explained that I have a zigzag deformity from arthritis but they didn't agree on what to do for it. Now I don't know what to do. What do you tell your patients? 6 days 14 hours ago 5
I was at my bridge club meeting yesterday listening to all the biddies complaining about their aches and pains. I was surprised by how many of the women have serious thumb problems. It is to the point of pretty extreme pain at the base of the thumb and misshapen thumb joints. I'm only 60 years old (most of these ladies are in their 70s and 80s). Is this from years of playing cards or what? 6 days 14 hours ago 7
I went to the local clinic at the mall for a hand problem that's been bothering me for awhile. I think I may have injured something when I was pulling weeds a few weeks ago. Anyway, the nurse practitioner gave me a splint to wear for awhile but it's terribly uncomfortable and it gets in the way. Should I take it back and try something else? 3 weeks 6 days ago 16
I'm trying to make a difficult decision about my carpal tunnel syndrome. I've had it for six years even after surgery five years ago. Obviously, it hasn't gone away on its own or with any of my efforts. Would another surgery be worth it? Would it work if it didn't work the first time? 7 weeks 12 hours ago 23
When I went to see a hand surgeon for my carpal tunnel symptoms, I had to have nerve testing before they would do surgery. I guess the tests showed I really did have a carpal tunnel problem because I passed the test and had the surgery. Now three years later, the same wrist is acting up again. I saw the same surgeon yesterday again. This time I was told the electrical tests won't work for me. Why not? 7 weeks 12 hours ago 20
