Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common conditions treated by hand surgeons. If you’re reading this, you may already know the frustrating symptoms: numbness, tingling, grip weakness, nighttime pain, or hand and forearm cramping. When splints and activity/positional changes no longer provide relief, surgery may be the next step.
Dupuytren’s disease is a chronic, progressive condition characterized by the thickening and tightening of the fascia in the palm of the hand. This leads to the formation of bumps (“nodules”) and bands (“cords”) that can cause fingers to bend toward the palm, often affecting the ring and little fingers most commonly. This can lead to significant deformity and disability of the hands.
Pregnancy is an exciting time for all involved, however, musculoskeletal pain can be debilitating for mothers-to-be and new mothers alike. While low back pain is the most common musculoskeletal problem of pregnancy, conditions of the hand and wrist, including carpal tunnel syndrome, De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, and trigger finger are frequent causes of pain, disability, and stress during this time.
