What Causes Numbness And Tingling In The Wrist After Surgery?

I recently had surgery on my left wrist. For me it has taken several weeks to heal on the inside. Today I suddenly had an onset of numbness and tingling. Should I be worried about it? Also I have begun an aspirin regimen for a calcification in my aortic artery. Would it most likely to have something to do with that?

Hello,

It may be due to nerve compression.

For that you may require MRI hand and nerve conduction studies after surgeon consultation.

You may require multivitamin tablets and surgical intervention as per evaluation.

Till then restrict your movements
