Answer 1

So many different things can cause neuropathy in the wrist. Even though you've had carpal tunnel surgery there can still be nerves better being impinged. I've enclosed a list of things that can cause your problem.

Carpal tunnel syndrome
–Most common cause of significant wrist discomfort and morbidity
–Associated with repetitive use activities (e.g., typing)
–Pain and numbness symptoms result from entrapment of the median nerve under the transverse ligament
Overuse injury
Osteoarthritis
Tenosynovitis (DeQuervain's) of the radial wrist
–Results from inflammation of the tendon sheaths of the extensor pollicis brevis and abductor pollis longus
Ganglion cysts
–Common growths of tendons and ligaments in the wrist area occurring on both the dorsal and ventral surface
–They are compressible, round, often tender, and mobile
Trauma
–The most common mechanism of injury is a fall on the outstretched hand
–The most commonly fractured carpal bone is the scaphoid
–Other mechanisms include direct blows, crush injuries, fall on an angulated wrist, and severe twisting motions
Fibromyalgia
Compartment syndrome
Chest or shoulder masses, resulting in compression of lymphatic or venous systems
Venous thrombosis of the subclavian or distal veins
Flaccid paralysis following a CVA
Angioedema secondary to hymenoptera sting
Rheumatologic disease
Peripheral neuropathy
Insect or animal bite/sting
Infection

Take this list to a doctor of rheumatology and see if they can give you a correct diagnosis.
