When carpal tunnel syndrome and numbness are repeated? DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT METHOD

carpal tunnel syndrome wrist tunnel syndromeLee Seung-gun, orthopedic specialist at Saeum HospitalHello, this is Saeum Hospital. One of the most common parts of our lives is the wrist. When we work at work or do housework, we study, read books, or use smartphones or computers during breaks, so we use our wrists without rest, so we have less time to rest our wrists. If you use your wrist a lot like this, the risk of developing a disease increases, but a typical wrist disease was wrist tunnel syndrome. This can be seen as a characteristic symptom of numbness, and in severe cases, it causes pain and discomfort, so you should be helped to be diagnosed and managed in detail. Today, I would like to have time to examine carpal tunnel syndrome in detail, which causes numbness and discomfort in the wrist area.※ Director Lee Seung-gon’s brief biography※ Director Lee Seung-gon’s brief biographyIs “this disease” responsible for 80% of people who complain of numbness in their hands?A hand pipe syndrome is called root tube syndrome and called root tube syndrome, and the root pipe (the root tube) is narrow and the nerve to pressure of the inner nerve.The positive nerve was the nerve to help you to help the sense of the wrist and grasp the things.In the past, the past, the number of people who have often occurred to complain about the symptoms of numbness while using electronic equipment.It was a lot of muscles and muscle, so that women have to be careful about five times more than men.When you can’t use the wrist, inflammation of muscles and ligament is increasingly swollen and muscles.This was numbness and wrist is numb and my wrist.This was desirable to help you get rid of the nerve fiber, so it was desirable to help you to help you get treatment quickly.physical diagnosticsIn general, carpal tunnel syndrome can be suspected when the hands, wrists, and fingers feel numb or inconvenient. In the early stages of the symptoms, numbness occurs after using a lot of hands or working, but it gradually worsened and complained of pain, and muscles such as thumbs weakened. As it progresses gradually, there are often situations where you lose strength in your hands when you hold things, and if these problems are repeated, I recommend you to visit the orthopedic department for an examination as soon as possible. The easiest way to self-diagnose was to do a Phalen’s test. In this test, when the back of the hand was combined and the wrist bent in an L-shape for 1-2 minutes, I could suspect it if I felt an abnormal sensation from the thumb to the fourth finger. It was better to get help from a specialist for a detailed diagnosis.imaging diagnostic aradiological diagnosticIf only the first, second, third, and fourth fingers were numb, and the little finger was numb, and only the palm of the hand, not the back of the hand, if you had these typical symptoms, you could diagnose them just by asking questions. However, in order to prevent unnecessary treatment, the examination necessary for diagnosis is necessary. X-rays, ultrasound, and neuromyoelectroscopy were performed, and the size of the muscles on the parents’ fingers was compared through opposing exercises. Above all, it was necessary to remember that the disease should be treated before the muscle atrophy stage comes. Sensory decline required long-term treatment, but recovery was possible. However, once muscle atrophy occurred, it was difficult to recover even after surgery. Therefore, I recommended that you come to the hospital early for an examination if you experience sensory loss.How do you treat carpal tunnel syndrome?1) If the non-surgical treatment method is a mild symptom and does not involve muscle atrophy or muscle weakness, non-surgical treatment will be applied. Drug treatment such as anti-inflammatory drugs and auxiliary treatment using splints could be applied, which could reduce neural inflammation. In addition, steroid injections were administered to the wrist tunnel to remove edema in the nerves and improve symptoms through anti-inflammatory effects. Also, it was helpful to avoid excessive wrist use and to properly proceed with wrist splint fixation and medication.2) surgical treatmentcarpal tunnel glass (open) articular endoscopic carpal tunnel glass surgery is a process of cutting and relaxing the thickened wrist ligaments pressing the median nerve by cutting 1.5 to 2cm in front of the wrist after partial anesthesia or local anesthesia. It has the advantage of being able to recover quickly after surgery and not leaving a big scar. Wrist joint endoscopic surgery involves cutting the skin less than 1cm, inserting a surgical instrument and an ultra-small camera inside the wrist, and performing surgery by checking the disease area through the camera, which relatively reduces damage to surrounding tissues. You can leave the hospital one to two days after surgery, and the operation time is within 30 minutes, so even elderly patients can do it relatively without burden.In particular, wrist endoscopic surgery is an operation to treat fine nerves, so it is most important to undergo surgery by a highly skilled medical staff with extensive clinical experience in treating hand diseases.Wrist saving & exercise & stretchingIn fact, there were times when I had a hard time with carpal tunnel syndrome while working at a restaurant and exercising, and I changed my job and naturally got better. He said that if such inconvenient symptoms appear, it is most important to take a good rest. If you have to use your wrist a lot because of your job, it is good to wear a protector when you work so that you don’t have to strain your wrist, and if you want to look closely at your work on a computer, using a vertical mouse or keyboard pad was also helpful.It was also helpful for you to exercise and stretch steadily. If the pain is severe, applying a supporter or poultice little by little is helpful, and in the beginning, it is often improved by short-term treatment, so it was better to receive proper treatment so that the time to leave it alone is not long.20m NAVER Corp.
