Thanks again to all of you. This is not from carpal tunnel. I had the surgery on my right hand (same one that hurts now) several years ago and the tendon was released. This is on the ulnar side of my hand and not the medial side. The discomfort is on that side and affects the area on my wrist that would be under the ring and pinky fingers. It makes the meaty part of my palm on that side a little numb, but does not make my fingers feel numb. It comes and goes, depending if I am moving it certain ways. I will ask the doc when I see her if it doesn't go away soon. She may refer me to a hand specialist again.
