Carpal Tunnel Answers by Doctors:

Consistent free flowing blood circulation through your arteries and veins is one of the body’s most important processes. Regular exposure to nutrient and oxygen rich blood supplies are key to the health, function and healing of all tissue and organs of the body. However, there are many different factors can impede blood flow.

Blood Clots are one of the most common and dangerous conditions that restrict blood flow.

Who can get blood clots?

People that are dehydrated and sitting inactive on a plane trip for long hours for instance can develop deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or more simply stated, a blood clot. Pregnant women are in a higher risk group to get blood clots.

There are many other risk factors that can lead to a clot:

  • Prolonged Bed Rest or Paralysis
  • Injury
  • Surgery
  • Obesity
  • Smoking
  • Cancer
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Any Compressive disorder like Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
  • An Inherited condition called “Factor 5”
  • Pregnancy
  • Dehydration
  • Sitting idle in a car or plane for long periods.

Carpal Tunnel almost always impedes blood flow in the hand, wrist and forearm increasing the risk of a blood clot due to poor circulation for people with chronic CTS.

Doctors regularly put people in high risk categories with multiple risk factors on blood thinner medication to reduce the risks of developing a clot. There is a trade-off between the risk of the clot and the risks of being on blood thinners that has to be carefully weighed by the medical professionals consulting with the patient.

There are millions of people around the world on blood thinners today.

So, why do Surgeons refuse to do surgery on a patient who is on blood thinners?

A patient on blood thinning medication can end up experiencing excessive bleeding during any significant surgical procedure.   In the case of Carpal Tunnel Surgery, the incisions and cutting is proximate to a large artery and large veins in a relatively small space in the wrist area.   If a large artery or vein starts bleeding, it can be difficult to slow down and can make it difficult to see the ligament that is to be servered in the procedure. Excessive bleeding also presents obvious health risks to the patient.   Patients can actually bleed to death on the operating table or have a heart attack or stroke due to stress from loss of blood. The healing process is also slowed down post-surgery when a patient is on blood thinners because the clotting mechanism is an important part of rapid healing after surgery.

Since surgery, itself can cause a blood clot, surgeons are often reluctant to ask a person who is in a high risk group for clots to go off their blood thinner medication in order to reduce the risk of excessive bleeding during surgery. So, it is a bit of a “Catch 22” situation. This is why your surgeon has declined to perform the surgical procedure.

 

Just last week a patient, who has CTS in both hands, described how he experienced a stroke within a few days of Carpal Tunnel Surgery.   The surgeon insisted that he go off his blood thinner medication for five days prior to surgery. Understandably, he was determined to treat the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in his other hand in some other way besides a surgical procedure. Trading CTS for a stroke is not a good exchange.
