Surgeons of the Essentuki hospital helped the pensioner to cope with excruciating pain

In Essentuki, doctors relieved a 76-year-old patient of pain in the hands that tormented her for 20 years. Specialists to whom she turned during this time associated her condition with complications of diabetes, but the treatment did not give a lasting effect.

The administration of the city hospital said that the woman had carpal tunnel syndrome. The median nerve was compressed by surrounding tissues, which caused unpleasant sensations and limited mobility. The hands were numb, and at night the pain was so intense that it deprived sleep.

The neurosurgeon made a small incision in the palm of his hand under local anesthesia and released the nerve. The next day she felt better, and a month later the woman returned to operate on her second arm.

Earlier it was reported that a mobile medical team examined the residents of the village of Sablinsky in the Stavropol region.
