Carpal tunnel syndrome in Golden CO

Carpal tunnel syndrome can be defined as a numbness or tingling in the hand which is being caused by a pinched nerve. That’s rather vague so let’s delve further. Particularly, the median nerve is being impinged in the carpal tunnel which give numbness or tingling into the thumb, index, middle, and medial portion of the ring finger.

I cannot tell you how many times I’ve had patients come in with numbness or tingling in the ring and pinky finger and say their doctor diagnosed them with carpal tunnel syndrome. That is absolutely NOT carpal tunnel syndrome. That can be a myriad of other things such as tunnel of guyon syndrome, ulnar tunnel syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome or similar.

Too many times do I see doctors using carpal tunnel syndrome as a catch-all diagnosis, because they forget that other problems can exist. This can have very real consequences for patients who end up getting surgery that never actually fixes the problem. The Christian Librarian published an article stating that carpal tunnel surgery fails over 50% of the time. That’s alarming and furthermore, unacceptable.

Why does it fail so much? Many reasons, but some include the problem not actually being carpal tunnel syndrome and most importantly, surgery isn’t the best option. Patients can experience carpal tunnel-like symptoms with pronator teres syndrome, nerve entrapment at the ligament of struthers, medial intermuscular septum or coracopectoral tunnel, or any one of a dozen problem stemming from the cervical spine.
