Questions
 
True
False
1

When diagnosing carpel tunnel syndrome, once your doctor has made a diagnosis, an added diagnostic tool is to get a nerve conduction study done.

Explanation:

When you start developing symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, and your diagnosis has been confirmed by your family physician, sometimes an added diagnosis is getting something called a nerve conduction study, where you’re sent to a neurologist to test the level of slowing of that nerve.

2

A nerve conduction test helps diagnose the amount of compression the nerve has, which is directly related to the amount of pain a person is feeling.

Explanation:

A conduction test will often come back positive, and it will give you some idea of the degree of compression; not that that’s related, necessarily, to your symptoms, but it does help confirm the diagnosis.

3

When first diagnosed, many physicians will recommend wearing a brace on the wrist at night in order to hold the wrist straight.

Explanation:

Early in the disease, in the entity, when you start having numbness in your hands, most physicians will recommend bracing at nighttime. It will keep your wrist in a straighter position.

4

Moving the joints in extreme flexion is not advised while doing daily activities, sports or hobbies.

Explanation:

They may ask you to avoid positions of extreme extension or flexion of your wrist joint during the daytime at work, or at hobbies or sports that you do.

5

Using anti-inflammatories or cortisone injections is of little help to carpel tunnel.

Explanation:

Your physician may put you on some anti-inflammatories to settle some of your symptoms, and some doctors will actually inject cortisone into your carpal canal that may help you temporarily.

6

Typically, carpel tunnel is a short term problem and symptoms will resolve on their own.

Explanation:

The problem is, by and large, a progressive problem. So you may have mild symptoms for one day, and worse another, and month-to-month it may change. But the natural course of this is over years it will usually get worse.

    I had a hip replacement and a knee replacement several years ago, performed by Dr. Gallimore. Both joints have healed perfectly and are working fine with no pain or any issues whatsoever. Based on my experience, Dr. Gallimore is an excellent orthopedic surgeon, professional, attentive and caring.

    Dr Gallimore is professional and polite. He is an excellent surgeon. He carries you along with your care. The secretary is the best. She is patient, easily approachable. She's good at follow ups which bridge the waiting time between patients and doctors. I have had 2 knee replacement surgeries without complications.

    I had a Total Knee Replacement with Dr. Gallimore. His team took great care of my needs and I was able to start walking on my own on the day after the surgery, only using a walker. Dr. Gallimore's office assistant is also a very pleasant and caring person who made great effort in making sure we had proper arrangements to prepare for the surgery. Given the high level of attention to my particular physiology, I felt very safe before and after the surgery. My anesthetist and other doctors who were involved in the surgery were also very pleasant and caring to my special needs. There was a lot of unknown and therefore I was very worried. However, I later found out that the worries were for nothing. I highly recommend Dr. Gallimore.

    Dr. Gallimore is an excellent doctor. He performed an ACL reconstruction surgery on me in March, 2021. I was well taken care of from the initial meeting to post operation check-ups. He and his lovely secretary were prompt to respond to phone calls and answered all the questions I had during the months I was under his care. The surgery itself, the incisions, were neat and post operation management was smooth. I feel very lucky to have Dr. Gallimore as my surgeon for my injury.
