Hello, I am a 57 old male. I went on December 4th 2006 for the Abdominal Pelvic Resection surgery which lasted for about 8 hours and went very well. However, something happened to both my hands; right after surgery when I woke up I could not feel my hands, left one from the elbow and the right one from the wrist. My wife told me that my hands were icy cold (like a dead person) and started to massage them. When I lifted my left hand using my right hand and then dropped it, it went down without any feeling or control. All fingers - except the little one on both hands were numb. It improved in couple of days to the condition that I was able to move both hands, but the strong tingling and numbness still remains. Surgical doctors told me that my hands were in "T" position, bended over the edge of table. They also said that they pumped a lots of fluid during the surgery to my body and that this numbness will disappear after some time. However, I am already 4 weeks from hospital and my condition is worse, I am in constant pain. I am not able to make a fist on my left hand. My palms and fingers on both hands strongly tingle, and if I am washing my hands, it feels like to have a sand between them. But in the same moment it is also numb. I did a little research on Internet and symptoms seem like Carpal Tunnel Syndrom, because the only finger not affected is the little one and the half of ring finger (the side to the little finger). I will appreciate any help or advise on how to calm my pain. I am using Hydrocodone 5/500 for 1 month, but it only helps a little. Thank you.
