Dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome

>> CARPAL TUNNEL CAN REALLY GET IN THE WAY OF YOUR DAY. THAT TINGLING. FEELING EFFECTS UP TO 10 MILLION AMERICANS BECAUSE THERE’S NO SINGLE CAUSE. THERE’S NO ONE SIZE FITS ALL FIX. BUT THERE’S A PROCEDURE THAT CAN HELP AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY HAVE IT WHILE YOU’RE AWAKE. IN THE STUDIO THIS MORNING. A TRUE EXPERT BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC AND HAND SURGEON DOCTOR MICHAEL KIM. DR. KING WAS ACTUALLY PART OF THE TEAM. THE FIRST ONE THAT PERFORMED THE VERY FIRST HAND TRANSPLANT IN HISTORY. SO I GUESS THAT MEANS, YOU KNOW, A THING OR 2 ABOUT DOCTOR, KIM. WOW, THAT’S INCREDIBLE. ASHES OF HER TENSION, THE UNITED STATES THROUGH FRIENDS FROM BEFORE. >> I WAS A FELLOW. SO I WAS LOOKING TO BE ON CALL THAT MUST HAVE BEEN. 15 OR 20 SURGEONS PART OF THE TEAM. YEAH, THAT ROTATED SO JUST PART OF THE TEAM AS A FELLOW AT THE TIME, JUST PART OF THE TEAM AND THEN YOU CONTINUED ON WITH OTHER LIVES ARE LIKE 9TH GRADE AREA. IT’S AMAZING. HE’S A HAND IS SO INTRICATE AND SO IMPORTANT AND I WOULD ASSUME VERY DIFFICULT TO OPERATE ON. BRIEFLY, TO BE A HAND SURGEON HAD TO BE WITH PETERS JONES, ORIGINAL PLASTIC SURGEON. AND THEN YOU DO A FELLOWSHIP, ONE-YEAR ENHANCE WELL READ YOU JUST HAND SURGERY AND ANYTHING CAN USE THEM. SO THEN YOU COULD BECOME BOARD CERTIFIED IN HANSARD WHOLE ELECTION ABOUT THEM WITH WHY. BUT IT’S IMPORTANT IF YOU’RE GOING TO SOMEBODY WITH A HAM PROBLEM TO GO BOARD, CERTIFIED WORK SURGEON DID A FELLOWSHIP ENHANCE OR SO THAT’S THAT’S MANY, MANY MORE YEARS BEYOND JUST THE RIGHT DOCTOR. THAT’S AMAZING. SO-CALLED THAT HAS VERY COMMON EURO CUP ATTENTION MIND. WE SET ABOUT 10 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE IT EVEN MORE THAN HALF. WE DON’T KNOW WHY. MAYBE 60% SOMETIMES ATTRIBUTED TO APPETIZERS AND DIABETES. TRAUMA, VARIOUS CONDITIONS RETURN ITS FIGHTERS. BUT JOY. WE DON’T KNOW SO THEY’VE BEEN STAY SHOWING THAT KEYBOARDS REALLY DO NOT WOODS. THAT’S NOT AN ISSUE OUR TIMES. REALLY. WE DON’T KNOW AND THE SYMPTOMS USUALLY ARE NUMBNESS, PAIN. NOTHING NIGHTTIME PROBLEM THAT CAN SEE. GOING TO BE ON PAIN IMPAIRED AND TIPS. SURE. THERE’S AN BY TIME THEY COME TO SEE ME. AND FOR SHE OFTEN DOES VERY LATE WHERE THEY WAITED A YEAR. SO NOW THE NUMBNESS IS PERMANENT. WELL, SO IT’S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO NOT ONLY IDENTIFY A CUP OF TENNIS ENGINE. THEY GET TREATED EARLY, WHETHER IT’S A SPLINT WHERE THE TRUCK WAS IN SHOT OR WHERE THE SURGERY AND YOU CAN DO THESE SURGERIES. NOW, WHILE YOUR PATIENT IS AWAKE? YEAH, I THINK THERE ARE A FAIR NUMBER OF SURGEONS IN THE COUNTRY, ESPECIALLY IN CANADA IS THAT THEY CALLED WHITE AWAKE, LOCAL AND SEASONAL TURN IT WHILE ON WHERE YOU DON’T HAVE TURN TO GET READY. YOU INJECT THE AREA WITH NOTHING. AND YOU CAN DO THE SURGERY WIDE AWAKE. WOW. AND IT TAKES ANYWHERE FROM 10 TO 20 MINUTES. LOTS OF NUMBING. AND THEN THE PATIENTS TOLD WAY THINGS ARE GOING TO DENTIST. YOU KNOW, I DO KNOW NOTHING LAW AND THERE’S SOME OF THEM ACTUALLY DRIVE HOME OF GIANT OVERCOME ENDED BECAUSE THEY’RE NOT SURE AND IS WELL TOLERATED. BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PROCEDURE, PARTICULARLY ENDOSCOPIC BECAUSE THE PROCEDURE, VISION AND DESIGN IN 1997, 90 9 THE CHURCH ALL. AFTER AGING ARE THE 3 MAIN PEOPLE DEVELOP IT. IT’S BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 35 YEARS. NOT BRAND I THINK ANYWHERE FROM 25 TO 50% OF PEOPLE ARE UNDERGOING THIS TOUGH DECISION RATHER THAN THE STANDARD OPEN. WE OPEN UP THE LUMEN BASICALLY THERE’S A COMPRESSING ARE NERVOUS THAT THE FISHERMEN WRIST RENT CAUSING THE HAND GOING NIGHTTIME, USUALLY THE THUMB GENERATION, THEIR FINGER. SO IF IT’S THE WHOLE HAND, MAYBE SOME OF THE AND THEN WERE. SO A LOT OF THE NUMBERS ON PROBLEMS CONSCIOUS. SO IT’S THE DIFFERENCE IF YOU GET DIAGNOSED WITH COVID CONSIDERING YOU NEED TO BE TREATED BECAUSE AS A NERVOUS COMPRESSED OF THE TIME, NONE OF THE GUYS. YEAH. AND THEN SOMETIMES EVEN RELEASE AND PUSH UP THE NERVE. IT DOESN’T COME BACK FROM A STROKE DIES HAS TO A BACK AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN’T. SO THAT LOOKING AT THERE YOU CAN SEE HAS RELEASED THE KEY TO PUSH UP THE AND THE SUCCESS RATE FOR THE SURGE IS VERY HIGH. OVER 90%. WOW AND RECOVER IS USUALLY PRETTY QUICK. WE’RE TALKING ANYWHERE FROM DAYS TO WEEKS REALLY PATIENTS USUALLY THE MOST THINGS. THERE’S PROBABLY 3 MONTHS OF NORMAL THAT AT SEVERAL WE SOME PATIENTS OF PLAYING GOLF OR AROUND SO THEY GET THEIR LIVES BACK. THAT’S WONDERFUL. SO IT’S SOMETHING CAN BE WELL TOLERATED AND VERY HIGH CURE SO OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU HAVE THE BEGINNING, SIGNS GET TO AN EXPERT IMMEDIATELY BEFORE YOU GET TO. >> SOMETHING THAT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, NON NON A BOWLER. YOU CAN’T ALTER DOWN THE ROAD. YEAH. SOMETIMES. SPRINT PRESIDENT SHOCKING. GET RID OF THE SIN-BIN FOR A LONG TIME. SOME PEOPLE CAN AVOID SURGERY. SO BUT YOU NEED TO EARLY RATHER THAN WAITING UNTIL IT’S NO ALL THE TIME. THEN AGAIN, A LOT OF TIMES, EVEN AFTER SURGERY, THE NUMBER SAYS DR. KEN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE APPRECIATED AND IF YOU’D LIKE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH DR KIM AND HIS TEAM, THE INFO IS THERE ON YOUR SCREEN AND WE WILL P
