Carpal Tunnel? Two Tiny Poke Holes, No Big Scar
Carpal Tunnel? Two Tiny Poke Holes, No Big Scar | Dr. Jesse Dashe
Does your hand wake you up at night, numb and tingling?
That can be carpal tunnel. A nerve in your wrist gets squeezed, so your thumb and next two fingers go numb. Your pinky usually feels fine. That is a big clue.
The old fix left a big scar across the palm. There is a newer way: Thread Carpal Tunnel Release. Two tiny poke holes. No big scar. No stitches.
Understanding it is the first step, and you have options.
I'm Dr. Jesse Dashe, a hand surgeon in San Leandro. Nice to meet you.
