I had my thumb fused and carpal tunnel release 3 weeks ago. I have been having an increase in burning pain in the thumb and some numbness recently. The pain used to be at night, now I am experiencing it all day. The extra strength tylenol, 6 per day, doesn t seem to be helping the pain. I can t take NSAIDS due to stomach issues. Any comments?
