So today was the day I was supposed to get my splint and stitches removed. I went in, they checked everything and my wrist looked normal, so they removed my stitches and told me I needed to exercise my wrist (as everything is stiff at the moment). They also informed me that the mass in my wrist actually wasn't a ganglion cyst according to the lab results, but a benign tumour called "juxta articular myxoma".
So I leave the office and do the exercises I was instructed to do. About 30 minutes later after doing the exercises, I get dizzy out of no where. I tried lifting up my wrist, which felt unusually heavy, and I saw this (sorry about the blurry photo):
(For those of you wondering, my wrist is thin from the splint)
It was the worst pain of my life and it gave new meaning to the term "gut-wrenching pain", but it was about to get worse!
So I go back to the surgeon's office and I get wheel-chaired to one of the rooms as I was about to pass out (I'm not exaggerating, it was that bad). The surgeon's doctor (assistant) comes in and says, "Whoa! I've never seen that happen before". He begins pressing on it to see if he can get it to go down, but to no avail.
He beckons the surgeon over and the surgeon says, "Whoa, what happened!". After a few minutes, he extrapolated that my wrist didn't respond well to the exercises, so one or more blood vessels must have burst and caused haematoma, which is a collection of blood like a bruise, in the surgical site. Now I'm back in a splint.

Imo it's serious... JAM is a lot more serious condition than CTS. They should've done a preoperative differential diagnoses and in that, a biopsy should've performed to see if it was anything else than the CTS.
Also, in JAM, postoperative very minimum exercising is advised AFAIK... And in a JAM, some more surrounding tissue needs to be removed. Also, now, IMO, you'll need many periodic med/surgical tests done and it's never a cut and forget procedure as in CTS.
The intense pain you had suggests a major nerve could've been damaged due to either wrongly diagnosed condition and thereafter not carrying out the more serious and correct operative procedure, which was JAM related, and therefore due to not following correct operative procedure, a nerve damage was overlooked, to say in common terms.
May not come to that hard prognosis, but you now need to take extra care when the diagnosis is JAM, and the procedure done was for CTS.... The surgeon has done his basic duty to let you know about JAM condition, but he has not told you about certain more things you need to do after IMO a wrong procedure was done on your hand. Maybe you need to take a legal opinion on this asap, and depending on where you live, the surgeon has made a real major mistake, iatrogenic is the term, and has erred in not giving you complete details of what serious complications there could be in future... I believe that he should have ordered a biopsy before the procedure, a simple thing which could have made a correct procedure possible for the patient.
Where do you live? The US? Get a second opinion asap, and also approach your lawyer thereafter if you feel so.
Praying for your full recovery and no complications. God bless.
