Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see a hand specialist for wrist pain?▾
See a specialist if you have wrist pain lasting more than 2 weeks, swelling, decreased grip strength, numbness or tingling, or difficulty performing daily tasks. Acute injuries should be evaluated promptly.
What causes carpal tunnel syndrome?▾
Carpal tunnel occurs when the nerve in your wrist is compressed, often from repetitive motion, pregnancy, arthritis, or trauma. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand.
Can carpal tunnel be treated without surgery?▾
Yes, many cases respond to conservative treatment including wrist splinting (especially at night), activity modification, anti-inflammatory medications, and corticosteroid injections. Surgery is considered if symptoms persist.
How long does hand surgery recovery take?▾
Recovery varies by procedure. Minor repairs typically require 4-6 weeks of healing with gradual return to activity. More complex surgeries may require 8-12 weeks. Your surgeon will provide specific timeline.
