I had right shoulder surgery & now have carpal tunnel could the injury to shoulder bring about carpal tunnel?
Sustained injury at work partial tear to right shoulder rotatar cuff & bone spurs, surgery done no repair of partial but begin experiencing numbness, pain and tingling to right hand. Current hand specialist stated that the carpal tunnel was aggravated by the injury to right shoulder. I am just trying to get some answers because I had never been seen nor complained of carpal tunnel until the injury I sustained to my right shoulder. Now I must undergo surgery to correct the problem with right hand. I would appreciate any insight that others might have regarding my situation or can direct me to the right research or question and answer engines. All help will be most appreciated.
Consult with a sports medicine doctor. Your carpal tunnel syndrome is the result from your right shoulder injury, surgery to your hand won’t fix the problem, you need to address your shoulder to correct your carpal tunnel.
There also many Topical Creams for Carpal Tunnel out there that are proven to work to relief pain immediately and improves flexibility & eliminates inflammation.
Probably not. CTS usually comes from repetitive motion injury. There are a few acute injury to the wrist that can bring it on, but not related to the shoulder.
