Funny, my google medical searches always come back with a dozen "buy our new miracle drug/herbal cure for (whatever your search) medical problem!"

I had carpel tunnel and carpel tunnel surgery, I'm not a doctor and everyone is different but for me it was the exact opposite, tingling in the fingertips but not the thumb.

Also had trigger thumb in the same hand about a year after surgery (getting old sucks), they offered me another surgery but I opted to try a thumb brace (OTC at walmart, CVS, etc.) and it went away after a month or two. Also tried cortisone shots to the thumb ligament (oh golly that was fun!) but it didn't seem to help.
