Messed up carpal tunnel surgery


I just had carpal tunnel surgery but the numbness in the fingers and wrist has increased. Is this common?

Well, it may be just the initial post op recovery but more likely than not, the surgeon may have damaged the median nerve. I think you should be seen by a neurologist. Write down all your symptoms and take pictures of your hand and fingers. The next stop should be a great medical malpractice lawyer
