Living with hand pain doesn’t have to be your reality. With the right diagnosis and treatment, many conditions can be managed—and in some cases, pain can be completely relieved. If hand pain is affecting your daily life, schedule a consultation at Fremont Hand Therapy in Fremont today and take the first step toward regaining comfort, function, and your normal routine.
Dr. Besh at Fremont Hand Therapy has helped countless patients in Fremont and the surrounding areas find relief from hand pain, and we’re confident we can do the same for you. At Fremont Hand Therapy, we focus on conservative treatments, which are often highly effective in managing hand pain. These approaches may include self-care methods like RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation), lifestyle adjustments, wearing a splint or brace, medications, corticosteroid injections, hand therapy, and more.
While many hand problems respond well to non-surgical treatments, there are times when surgery is the most effective solution. Knowing when this step is necessary can help patients make informed decisions about their health and recovery. Let’s take a closer look at the situations where surgery may be the best option.
Signs You Might Need Hand Surgery
- When Conservative Treatments Fail: If non-surgical treatments are no longer effective, surgery may be recommended to address the underlying issue, restore hand function, and improve overall quality of life.
- Severe, Persistent Symptoms: Your symptoms are intense and show little to no improvement despite treatment.
- Loss of Function: Difficulty moving your hand or arm, or a noticeable drop in strength that makes holding objects or performing everyday tasks challenging, could indicate a more serious underlying issue.
- Nerve Compression: The most common type of nerve compression, carpal tunnel syndrome, can cause persistent numbness, tingling, or weakness. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to relieve pressure on the nerve and prevent permanent damage.
- Advanced Joint Damage: Over time, arthritis can erode joint cartilage, causing bones to rub together. This can lead to pain, swelling, stiffness, and deformity, making everyday tasks increasingly difficult.
- Severe Injuries or Fractures: Broken bones, tendon tears, or traumatic injuries often require surgical repair to restore proper alignment, mobility, and strength.
