Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition caused by the median nerve being pinched in your hand. Carpal tunnel symptoms can begin with numb fingers, pain in the hand and wrist, dropping things or awakening to numb hands. Many people try to ignore these symptoms, but doing so can cause irreversible damage.

The Brown Procedure is Safe and Easily Performed on an Outpatient Basis

If you are putting off surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome, you should not. The Brown Procedure has been around for 20 years because, not only is it safe for patients, it's effective. The long-term patient safety and quality has been proven time and time again. To repair carpal tunnel syndrome, your hand surgeon will make two very small incisions, near your wrist and in the palm of your hand, where the instruments will be inserted to isolate the transverse carpal ligament from the contents of the carpal tunnel. A long lasting anesthetic in the incisions ensures the patient feels hardly any pain, if at all. Your discomfort after surgery should be eliminated with this. The incisions are so tiny that Steri-Strip adhesive is used to close them, not stitches. Over the next week you will be able to use your hand and after one week the Steri-Strip closures can be taken off and you will have complete use of your hand with no restrictions.

[Posted on Dec 12]

If you’ve been having any pain or tingling in your hand or wrist, then you should take the time to get a medical evaluation of it. The pain in your hand may be indicative of carpal tunnel syndrome or some other painful hand condition. If you don’t take the time to get it checked out now, things could get a lot worse later on. As such, you need to find some hand experts that you can trust to make a diagnosis of your symptoms.

Pain and tingling are two of the most common symptoms that are associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. Although these symptoms could be a sign of something else, you don’t want to take any chances. At the first sign of these symptoms, you should contact the hand surgeons at Brown Hand Center. Our experts can help evaluate the pain that you are feeling in your hand and make sure that you get the right diagnosis for your condition. If it’s determined that you need surgery to correct the problem, you can trust our surgeons to help you.

Another symptom of carpal tunnel syndrome is the inability to grip things properly. If you have noticed that you’ve had trouble holding on to things lately, this could be a sign that you have this hand condition. Rather than stay silent and hope that this symptom will go away, you should go and get it evaluated. If you can successfully determine that this is a symptom of carpal tunnel, then you can explore your treatment options. You may need tunnel surgery or some other type of treatment to deal with your carpal tunnel.

If you let the symptoms of your carpal tunnel go on too long before doing something about them, they could become constant. If your symptoms are recurring, then it might be difficult for you to do the normal, everyday things in life that you are used to doing. Over time, the muscles in your thumb could become severely damaged and the pain could be too much for you to handle. Don’t let things go this far. Trust the specialists at Brown Hand Center to offer you treatment for your carpal tunnel. We’ll give you the best care possible and make sure that your pain goes away.
