Aoa I have numbness in my both hands especially on my left hand.Doctors suggested me for surgery.I want an opinion from you please.
see an orthopedic surgeon near you.
needs a Nerve test to confirm the reason for numbness. only then surgery if needed.
wasslam
first we have to rule out the cause of numbness.
most of the causes are systematic.
but some causes are local.
you have to visit us for a thorough examination and investigation.
feel free to visit us.
consult an orthopedic and do NCS and if indicated go for surgery.
could be carpal tunnel syndrome needs assessment and possibly ncs for complete evaluation.
In case of carpal tunnel syndrome
injection in this carpal tunnel can relieve this symptom
you should visit us to rule out the other possibility

need examination in clinic
Thank you
Agreed with other respected colleagues. Need to visit any orthopedic Surgeon near you for proper assessment, necessary investigations and than management.
Regards
Need to assess by orthopedic and NCS to be done to confirm diagnosis if no other causes Need surgery
NCS EMG tests are recommended but we don't usually go for these to reduce the expense of suffering patients
Anything that squeezes or irritates the median nerve in the carpal tunnel space may lead to carpal tunnel syndrome. A wrist fracture can narrow the carpal tunnel and irritate the nerve. This also may occur due to swelling and inflammation caused by rheumatoid arthritis or other diseases
if you already have done some tests you can share reports
because we first diagnose the triggering factor then start treatment
we don't prescribe medicines without proper diagnosis because patients suffer from drug toxicity
some doctors prescribe injections but every patient is different and same protocols aren't for everyone.
our online consultation fee is 100 Rs
carpal tunnel needs clinical examination and myoelectric diagnosis.
if not improving with medication, brace and with local injection better to go for surgery
