- According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, a carpal tunnel release procedure may fail to eliminate pain and other symptoms due to extensive scarring or an incomplete release of the carpal ligament during surgery. A doctor may repeat the surgery when a patient continues to have nerve pain after the initial surgery.
- Patients with very severe pain prior to surgery may continue to have nerve pain after carpal tunnel surgery.
- Individuals who use vibrating tools to perform heavy manual labor after carpal tunnel surgery often experience continued nerve pain.
- People with poor mental health and individuals who abuse alcohol have a greater chance of experiencing pain and other symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome after they have undergone carpal tunnel release surgery.
- Patients with high blood pressure or diabetes and people who receive hemodialysis treatment may notice a return of carpal tunnel syndrome pain after an initial surgery.
