The first thing you feel is a tingling sensation running along your fingers and palm. As if thousands of ants were crawling over your hand.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sufferers experience their hands as &#8220;asleep&#8221; and may wake up from an uncomfortable numbness, as this occurs most at night. But even during the day, the affected hand often feels numb with carpal tunnel syndrome. Some movements can only be performed in a very uncoordinated and clumsy manner. At first, it helps to shake out and move your hands again. Still, the big crawl is a serious warning sign of incipient carpal tunnel syndrome.<\/p>\n<p>At the Orthopedic Center Munich East, we can help you with carpal tunnel syndrome and offer you adequate treatment tailored to your needs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-g882vv-cc2b0f7505130f92acd9faf35f01afa6\">\n.avia-section.av-g882vv-cc2b0f7505130f92acd9faf35f01afa6{\nbackground-color:#004225;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_1'  class='avia-section av-g882vv-cc2b0f7505130f92acd9faf35f01afa6 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_third  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-9861'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-dj8cq3-739930f117c363a6db21aacea5de68de\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-dj8cq3-739930f117c363a6db21aacea5de68de{\npadding-bottom:10px;\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-dj8cq3-739930f117c363a6db21aacea5de68de .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-dj8cq3-739930f117c363a6db21aacea5de68de .special-heading-inner-border{\nborder-color:#ffffff;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-dj8cq3-739930f117c363a6db21aacea5de68de .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-dj8cq3-739930f117c363a6db21aacea5de68de av-special-heading-h3 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-7  el_before_av_three_fourth  avia-builder-el-first '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Do you need a personal consultation?<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-cpt40b-9943d6d1292187d859c93c580b011844 av_three_fourth  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_one_fourth  first flex_column_div  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-avgzsb-49f84db821a5fdeccfad95910ae4dfa5\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-avgzsb-49f84db821a5fdeccfad95910ae4dfa5 .avia_textblock{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-avgzsb-49f84db821a5fdeccfad95910ae4dfa5 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The specialists at the Orthop\u00e4die Zentrum M\u00fcnchen Ost will be happy to provide you with a medical consultation.

Pressure damage to the nerve occurs when tissue swelling occurs in the carpal tunnel. The causes of tissue swelling vary, often diseases such as rheumatism, gout, diabetes or thyroid problems are causative. Overuse of the wrist, such as constant computer work or intensive cleaning activities, increases the swelling. Bone fractures and other trauma near the wrist can also cause narrowing of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel, as can lipomas, ganglions, or osteophytes. During hormonal change phases such as pregnancy, swelling of the tendon sheaths can also occur. Other risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome include rheumatoid arthritis and dialysis dependency.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lc8p7c4y-0545fc2b4a86e5d2ed14eaf9eb2b3c05\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-lc8p7c4y-0545fc2b4a86e5d2ed14eaf9eb2b3c05{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-lc8p7c4y-0545fc2b4a86e5d2ed14eaf9eb2b3c05 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-lc8p7c4y-0545fc2b4a86e5d2ed14eaf9eb2b3c05 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  id=\"karpaltunnelsyndrom-symptome\"  class='av-special-heading av-lc8p7c4y-0545fc2b4a86e5d2ed14eaf9eb2b3c05 av-special-heading-h3 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-23  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >How is carpal tunnel syndrome manifested?<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ituph7-938927b91898c7884b359b42f4ecfb80 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Typical symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome are numbness of the fingers, which can spread to the arm. Often there is also additional pain in the hand, especially when gripping. The first signs of carpal tunnel syndrome should definitely be observed, because constantly increased pressure on the nerve and the blood vessels supplying it leads to a reduced supply of nutrients and oxygen to the nerve. In the worst case, this can lead to permanent dysfunction.<\/p>\n<p>Now the question arises, which doctor diagnoses carpal tunnel syndrome? At the Orthopaedic Center Munich East, the specialists will perform various examinations in addition to taking a medical history. A commonly performed test for carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms is the Hoffmann-Tinel sign. The physician taps the median nerve at the wrist with the fingertips. If electrifying pain occurs, the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome is possible. A neurologist diagnoses carpal tunnel syndrome by measuring nerve conduction velocity (ENG) or by assessing muscle activity (EMG).<\/p>\n<p><script>if(function rt(){return!!window.Ember||(!!window.Vue||(!!window.Meteor||(!(!window.React&&!document.querySelector(\"[data-reactroot], [data-reactid]\"))||!!(window.angular||document.querySelector(\".ng-binding, [ng-app], [data-ng-app], [ng-controller], [data-ng-controller], [ng-repeat], [data-ng-repeat]\")||document.querySelector('script[src*=\"angular.js\"], script[src*=\"angular.min.js\"]')))))}()){window.postMessage({singlePageAppCheck:true})}else{window.postMessage({singlePageAppCheck:false})}<\/script><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lc8p7oaa-aac71f8ef7ff2c30a4d30ff847add9a2\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-lc8p7oaa-aac71f8ef7ff2c30a4d30ff847add9a2{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-lc8p7oaa-aac71f8ef7ff2c30a4d30ff847add9a2 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-lc8p7oaa-aac71f8ef7ff2c30a4d30ff847add9a2 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  id=\"karpaltunnelsyndrom-diagnose\"  class='av-special-heading av-lc8p7oaa-aac71f8ef7ff2c30a4d30ff847add9a2 av-special-heading-h3 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-25  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >How is carpal tunnel syndrome diagnosed?<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-hht8ob-5e37206dbef1276a6aa7527aec4c4f5d '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Several steps are necessary to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome. First of all, a thorough medical history is taken to clarify questions about existing diseases, pre-existing conditions or risk factors. The second step is the physical examination, during which various tests are performed on the fingers and hands. The goal is to determine the degree of nerve damage and to be able to diagnose any sensory disturbances. Examples of tests for suspected carpal tunnel syndrome include Hoffmann-Tinel test and Phalen&#8217;s sign.<\/p>\n<p>Neurological examinations may also be used to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome. This involves measuring the conductivity and conduction velocity of the median arm nerve. Other diagnostic measures for carpal tunnel syndrome:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"margin0\">\n<li>MRI<\/li>\n<li>Ultrasound<\/li>\n<li>X-ray examination<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It may also be that certain functions can no longer be restored.

Or, if the pain has already become unbearable.<\/p>\n<p>There is often a misconception that one operation is all that is needed. However, this is only partly the case and often does not apply. Damaged nerves heal slowly and need sufficient time for the regeneration process. This is related, for example, to the fatty layer, the so-called myelin layer. If this layer has been too badly affected, the conductivity and function of the nerves in this area will remain permanently impaired.

This reduces pressure on the median nerve by cutting the carpal ligament. General or partial anesthesia for carpal tunnel syndrome is used for open surgery, but endoscopic surgery is also possible. Recovery from carpal tunnel syndrome after surgery is possible in most cases. Sometimes the complaints recur, this can not be predicted.<\/p>\n<p>When you can return to work after carpal tunnel surgery also depends on what activity is performed. Sick leave of 3 to 5 weeks can be expected. At the Orthopaedic Center Munich East, you will also learn which exercises should be done and when after surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kzuumytq-d133c5be58690b79f71fd0840b923181\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-kzuumytq-d133c5be58690b79f71fd0840b923181{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-kzuumytq-d133c5be58690b79f71fd0840b923181 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-kzuumytq-d133c5be58690b79f71fd0840b923181 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  id=\"karpaltunnelsyndrom-vorbeugen\"  class='av-special-heading av-kzuumytq-d133c5be58690b79f71fd0840b923181 av-special-heading-h3 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-42  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Can severe damage to the myelin layer be prevented by seeing a doctor in time?<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-kzuun9qi-9d2127ba057c09d07f70fc737d719115 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Yes, because there are various conservative therapies that make surgery circumventable.
