Left hand weakness.

Had surgery on my right hand and it was completely successful a little weakness but far better than I expected. At the same time I was tested on the left and it showed minimal signs of cts. I now wake up with slight pins and needles and some pain, but the weakness is the worst of it. Is this common or do you think this is not related to cts.

Could be either the CTS or a completely different problem, though CTS usually causes people to drop things without power grip being obviously impaired on formal testing. We can always test it again and see how things have changed. JB

I think a retest is the next step, how do I get that organised?
