Do I Have Carpal Tunnel, Ulnar Nerve Compression, or Unknown Neuropathy?

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Some 5 mos. ago I developed numbness and tingling in both hands (all fingers with increasing intensity as you go towards the pinky) and both feet (all toes with increasing intensity as you go towards the smallest toe). There is no pain whatsoever, only a feeling of tightness that accompanies the numbness and tingling. I had been diagnosed through my nerve test that it had symptoms of carpal tunnel. I went ahead and had my CTS surgery for my right hand. The doctor also wants to do it for my left hand, but I'm not so sure now. It's been 4 days so far after the surgery and the numbness/ tingling are still there. I don't want to further jeopardize myself for something that is a misdiagnosis and have my left hand subjected to surgery. I really don't know what to do ... and my feet is not tarsal tunnel either according to my orthopaedic doctor. Please help me. I am a father of 2 babies and I just need to get back to work by July 3 (my Medical Leave deadline)or I'll be out of a job

Fibromyalgia/Neuropathy?

Monday, June 29th, 2009

My mom has been diagnosed with both of the above and given many medications. I believe at various times she is on Lyrica and Valium. Her pain is getting worse. Now she is starting to fall and talk out of her head and go back in time. Dad says she's been looking for me and my brother so we can get ready for school. We're both in our 40's! She has been in and out of the hospital. Deep down, I believe she has some type of muscular disease or nerve disease and they just haven't found it. She cries for hours in pain (her legs) everynight and it takes Dad a long time to get her on her feet in the morning. She is just in her 60's and use to be the most active person you have every met, just a few year ago. What do you think it could be?

Intense itching after bunion surgery?

Monday, June 29th, 2009

I had surgery to fix my feet back in March and April of last year. I now have intense itching where he shaved the bone and put the dissovable pin in, the doctor has no idea why it itches and he's given me a few creams that haven't worked. I scratch it so much that it bleeds sometimes

Has this happened to anyone else?
What can I do to help with the itching?
Is it just because it's healing although it's been almost a year since I had the surgery?
