Even if you are not exhibiting the classic or textbook carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms, indications like a pain in your hand can signal a problem. Most people are unaware we have a tunnel in our hand that can cause tingling fingers if damaged. This tunnel is formed by a semi-circle of carpal bones on three sides. There is a fourth side to the tunnel, the transverse carpal ligament that should not be stretched. Since it cannot be stretched and there is only so much space for this tunnel, the area inside is critical in order to have healthy hands. Through this tunnel, your median nerve passes along with nine tissues and tendons called tenosynovium. When this swells, it means the space in this tunnel is now compromised and the result is tingling fingers.

At Brown Hand Center, our treatment for your tingling fingers is to reduce the added pressure on the median nerve from swelling. Our hand surgeons make it their goal to relieve the pressure entirely so as to reduce the chance of permanent nerve damage. They also want to ensure you are completely comfortable and have the safest experience possible.

The Brown Procedure Can Fix Your Tingling Fingers

Our hand specialists will use The Brown Procedure to relieve your tingling fingers. It is an outpatient procedure where two small incisions are made, and the hand surgeon watches a video monitor to see what is going on inside your hand to implement the treatment. You will not need stitches because we use a long-acting anesthetic and adhesive skin closure to close your wounds. During the next seven days, you should be able to use your hand and then have no restrictions. Your tingling fingers will be a thing of the past.

Call Brown Hand Center today if you want to eliminate your tingling fingers before they cause permanent damage. We are ready to assist you when you do.

[Posted on Dec 22]

If you’ve been waking up in the middle of the night with tingling fingers, it may be time for you to call the professionals at Brown Hand Center.  Often, people will assume that their fingers are tingling merely because they have slept on them the wrong way. While this might be the case with some individuals, it’s not always the right answer. This is especially the case when it keeps happening over and over again. If you have experienced this symptom, it’s important for you to see a doctor as soon as possible about it.

Experiencing tingling fingers once may be not reason enough to see a doctor, but you should keep track of your symptoms, especially if they accompany other ones. For example, you may be experiencing wrist pain that goes along with the tingling in your fingers, or you may be feeling some intense pain in your hand. It’s a good idea to make a note of all these symptoms and bring them with you when you see a doctor. If you don’t get these symptoms taken care of right away, you could exacerbate the problem and have great hand issues later on down the road.

It’s always best to get your hand treated as soon as you can. Contact a hand doctor at Brown Hand Center to discuss the symptoms that you have been having. It’s helpful if you can bring your list and go over each and every one of the symptoms you have experienced. Even if you think that these things are no big deal, they could end up being a major problem in your life. Once the symptoms start interfering with your ability to use your hands properly each day, you’re going to experience a lot of stress. It’s best not to let things go this far.

When you meet with a doctor at the Brown Hand Center about your tingling fingers, you may be diagnosed with carpal tunnel. This is a common condition that is caused by increased pressure on the median nerve in the wrist. In order to get rid of some of this pressure, your doctor may recommend that you have surgery. If this is the case, it’s nothing to worry about. Doctors at Brown Hand Center have a lot of experience dealing with many types of hand issues and will be there to hold your hand and help you through the situation from start to finish.
