What Causes Carpal Tunnel And Trigger Thumb?
Question: I had trigger thumb, carpal tunnel and ulnar nerve damage in my left hand. I had surgery on all three. I had carpal tunnel on my right hand. I had surgery. my little finger on my right hand is numb but I don't feel it in my elbow. I think it is caught in my wrist.
