Swelling
Morning all, I have been suffering well over a year in both hands with my dominant hand the worst. I have had three injections and am now awaiting the operation which is scheduled for the end of June. When I wake in the morning my hand is very swollen even when I wear the splint given by the hospital. Just wondering if anyone else has the same thing and if there is anything I can do in the way of painkillers because the pain is so bad and seems to be getting worse. My hand is twice the size, cannot wait for the operation to come around!
Any advice would be great thanks everyone
If the splint is causing swelling it is most probably being fastened too tightly. There are some illustrations of what is needed for CTS in the treatment section of the site. JB
Any splint that may work better would be good, just suffering at night the most.
