Hi All, wondering if anyone developed any pins and needles in their arms or hands after their operation. It's been around 4 weeks now that started moving more and at work etc, I keep getting pins and needles in my right hand mainly... to the tips of fingers!! I can't grasp my toilet paper well when , erm going to the loo!! Anyone else have these symptoms?? X

  • Hello Jd19801

    I wonder if it would be worth contacting your CNS about this?

    I wonder whether there was any nerve irritation, either from the actual operation or the position in which you were in while having the surgery that may have caused this.

    It may well be that this can happen and will settle on its own, but if it is affecting you to the extent it is- then it would be best to get checked and get some reassurance. Perhaps give your CNS a quick call or email and ask about it. 

    Alternatively, you could give the Support Line a call and speak to one of the nurses. The number is below.

    Hope it settles soon.
