DJ54 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I’m not sure if this is in the proper forum. Numbness left index and middle finger More of a constant now. Sometimesa like a slight shock feeling. Example piece of toast left hand reading and peck typing with right. toast gone didn’t think It deopled on floor never felt it. Three times this week had a cigarette left finger. Twice someone told me I dropped it. Once I just lit a cigarette never felt it. Right hand my dominant hand has what I think is Dupuytren’s Contracture. I went to Hospital in BKK four years ago and the only thing offered was operate and cut tendons ( not sure what they’re called) a few months after Thailand hospital. Trip to Los Angeles CA a facility specializes in ha d and fingers, problems. They numb the area use small needles To break up the tendon (whatever there called) was able to flatten hand. Dr said they may grow Grow back and a year started again now the fingers are almost closed. One of the strings or? They did not try to break it because to close to a nerve. Left hand what I’ve read on Internet suggests see a Orthopedist. Anyone suggestioms doe a Orthopedist in Kumphawapi ideally or Udon Thani.

seasia Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Hi I think you would likely get a reasonable response in the Health and Medicine forum section. https://www.thaivisa.com/forum/forum/23-health-and-medicine/ Maybe your post will be moved there. I have no medical knowledge, cannot help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirineou Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Have you over extending your middle finger at people? LOL Seriously : "Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve that enters your hand through a tunnel made by the wrist bones, is compromised, usually resulting in numbness in the thumb, index, and middle finger. Sometimes the numbness is worse at night. " https://www.spine-health.com/blog/getting-right-diagnosis-numb-fingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reenatinnakor Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Sounds like carpal tunnel syndrome. I had it in my right hand index finger and thumb. Surgery is pretty straight forward and takes 15 mins. Sent from my LG-H990 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reenatinnakor Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Thanks appreciated. Should I go to the hospital to have it looked at or General MDNot sure if general MD here in Thailand will have the equipment to test for carpal tunnel...go to hospital is better I guess. What they do is attach electrodes to your fingers and arm and then test the response time from a small electric pulse, if you have cts the response is slow. It definitely sounds like you have it.

Sheryl Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 You need to see an orthopedic surgeon, preferrably one specializing in hand/wrist problems. This one at Bangkok Hospital Udon Thani is very well qualified: https://bhqdoctors.bdms.co.th/bdms/pages/eng/doctorProfile.php?id=2046 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
