- Find out more about your hand or arm condition at www.noelhenley.com. Learn where the thenar (thumb) muscles are in your hand. Find out what muscle atrophy looks like in severe carpal tunnel syndrome. Can anything be done about this?
Very informative. My both thumbs and my hands hurt so bad. I know what i need to buy i cant wait to get them.
Definitely going to be booking an appointment soon
i've been dealing with CTS for a while and got concerned that this might be happening to me. thanks for the very informative video.
How are your hands now brother? I need to get checked for mines.
You deserve more subs sir
I'm researching exercises to relieve carpal tunnel syndrome pain and discovered a great resource at Dariks pain destroyer (check it out on google)
what if you've had carpel tunnel release and are having symptoms again but primary symptom is thenar spasms?
@djancak You're welcome - very tough problem once it gets to that point in the video with muscle atrophy.
What should of been explained is when the nerve is severely damaged that's when muscle atrophy sets in. So in this case the compression must be released of the Median Nerve and then the nerves regenerate at 1mm a day so being close to the hand it would reach in less then 6 months and the muscle can be built again. If the Muscle has had no nerve supply after 18-24 months then it can not be brought back but if you have muscle wasting it's best to have it attended to asap. proximal Nerve injuries are the worst so the higher up they are the longer the nerve has to regenerate that's why Nerve transfers are offered so the motor end plates can be kept alive.
Wow, very insightful thanks.
My hands are fucked up so well its not nice anymore .. i have fucked up carpal and i didnt have nerve ticking, seizures or something .. i just cant move my fingers after carying something heavy or after my workout my fingers are like with no blood in them, i have stiffnes so bad i cant grab any shit around and when its cold outside others are like its okay and hands freezing as hell
I'm glad i now know that it isn't happening to me.. but i feel bad for the people that are experiencing this issue.
How to treatment please advice
I have this on both of my hands . It is IMPOSSIBLE for me to snap my fingers , turn door handle, turn my car key , etc i even had carpal tunnel surgery without relief. I am 48 years And had it for awhile. Damn should of dome something sooner . Really need to have surgery on both hands now. Anyone know a good hand surgeon on long island ?
Same problem How will it be okay?
In Aug 2000, after my second bout with Acute lymphocytic Leukemia, Docs figured I needed a bone marrow transplant. As soon as that foreign substance hit my veins, my organs startd a race to see which one could shut down the fastest! I musta looked thirsty too b/c they started pouring bags & bags of fluids into every orifice they could find and if there wasn't one already, they'd make one. Somehow amid this mass mayhem, I developed a blood clot somewhere on the right side of my body...cont
When I was a child-45 years ago I accidentally pushed my hand through a glass door, it broke and sliced my wrist. My thumb muscle never grew(atrophied) and my 1st finger is smaller than the other hand and there is permanent numbness where the median nerve I assume would be.-half of my hand. Its probably to late but I would give anything for it to be made somewhat normal again. Your opinion. Thanks.
How are you after 8 years?
exactly what i have, i’m 17 now, got diagnosed when i was 8, got surgery when i was 11 and it hasn’t gotten better at all. just remains and worsens
@@maremarekatic1429 i feel bad for you since you are so young. I hope you are doing well and remember there is beauty in life and i wish you well.
My left thumb has been twitching like crazy, for about 2 months. It really goes off if I do something a little more strenuous. No strength loss.
Does the non dominant hand typically have less muscle mass than the dominant?
This just started for me today, idk man it’s kind of weird
@@yonavlad3723 mine is still doing it . maybe even worse now
@@killyourscenex it’s the day after and mine stopped
do a search on Google for American Society for Surgery of the Hand and look for a surgeon near you.
I've heard physical therapy and exercises will rebuild the muscle mass lost from atrophy.
Iam also suffering tis type of pain.😅😢
Same provlem
this is same my problem my left hand 50% muscle westring before 4 years no power in hand take a any object.my age is 26 plese help me
it will get naturally better.
I have the exact same problem. I’ve had it for years now? Did u get your hand fixed?
I’m 24
I same problem one year please advice
Whelp, now I'm scared shitless. Really hope this isn't happening to me.
I'm studying exercises to relieve carpal tunnel syndrome pain and discovered an awesome resource at Dariks Pain Destroyer (look it up on google)
And? Have u got it over the 7yeara
Not entirely sure tbh, I still have regular inflammatory problems with my thumbs, wrists, elbows, and shoulders. I do stretches and exercises daily to try and keep myself limber to help. Might be RA but docs haven't given me a straight answer. Either way my tendons are pretty sensitive and get problems easily it seems.
@@QT-JME Do you reckon its normal to have assymetrical thenars? I keep looking at my hands and my right hand seems to have some minimal differences, like a few dents here and there. And do you feel a pulse in the muscle between your thumb and index muscle? I can see it pulsating, not noticeable unless i ultimately focus on it. Just wondering if those are normal or not.
I hope you're doing well with your own case
@@gra_nn That could just be normal human variance honestly, we're rarely symmetrical. Does the pulsing hurt? Otherwise it could just be your blood pumping. And thank you! It can be hard to figure out what's normal and what's not.
Mine is starting. Surgery in 7 days.
How are you now? Hope things are better.
Doesn't sound like carpal tunnel, but more like a bruise. If not getting better over a few days, see a hand surgeon.
Hi doc I have bruise before on hand and it already fades away but it's been months and still painful
Is it possible that the injury lead to carpal tunnel syndrome? Or it maybe because the bruise become hematoma?
Thank you
You can build up any healthy muscle fibers around the atrophied ones, but once the muscle's nerve supply is gone, it won't come back on its own.
just shut the fuck stupid doctor.
Guys im 23 and i have this fuck my life
Do play games allt and on phone? Maybe that's why alot of young people getting it now.
@@senseisaitama8684 bruh lmfao i went to my doctor a couple days after that comment and I actually dont have it. I was having wrist pain due to learning guitar and it was so bad that i was going crazy and self diagnosed. I have a history of playing computer games with mouse and keyboard leading to wrist pain and also guitar playing and heavy weightlifting, all of which i think i use my wrist more than someone else my age. Even so, I think if you are a young person and you have this problem it has less to do with lifestyle things like I mentioned and more to do with genetic predisposition.
