Pinched nerve and numbness after NA
A week ago I had NA on 2 fingers on my right hand. The ring finger which was medium contracted
did very well. The little finger, which had had previous surgery for 75% Dupytrens in 2000, is still
a problem. After a week the finger is still full of fluid, somewhat numb and painful at the bottom.
Has anyone experienced a pinched nerve from the NA procedure and can share their history with me?
I would gratefully appreciate it. I am exercising it vigorously every day. There is small improvement.

Re: Pinched nerve and numbness after NA
I had OS on my right hand in 1991 and still have numbness on one side of my ring finger and the outside tip of the little finger. Last Oct I had NA on three fingers of my left hand and one side of the ring finger is still numb, I don't think the nerve was damaged by NA but maybe the left over cord is pressing on the nerve.

Re: Pinched nerve and numbness after NA
Thank you so much, John. I think that sounds like what I'm experiencing, too.
I'll return to the doctor's next Thursday and see what he says as well. It's strange
because I have use of the finger but touching the base of it is painful.
I'm not a complainer nor into aches and pains as conversation' focus.
But life is change and age will have it's way with us.
Thanks again.

Re: Pinched nerve and numbness after NA
Hi
I'm an acupuncturist and maybe this acupressure might help. If you drew an imaginary line down the outside of your baby finger nail and under it there would be a point where the two lines would meet. It's sorta tender too. Press in there with a pencil or the side of your nail for a few minutes. Try it at three different angles perpendicular, and oblique upwards and downwards. should relieve the pain. 9Sorry I can't explain it better its easier to demonstrate than explain this way).
Hope it helps,
Anne
