It is not clear how this could have resulted from the treatment, but it might have entailed fluid redistribution in or around an old appendicectomy scar. It may be noted that nerve entrapment is recognized as a possible adverse effect of oral contraceptives in the carpal tunnel syndrome. 

The Musculoskeletal disorders more commonly seen in dental surgeons are Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Ulnar Nerve Entrapment Pronator Syndrome Tendinitis Tenosynovitis Extensor Wad Strain Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Rotator Cuff Tendonitis (Nield-Gehrig, 2008). 

Association of Pain, neuropathic pain is defined as pain initiated or caused by a primary lesion, dysfunction in the nervous system". Neuropathy can be divided broadly into peripheral and central neuropathic pain, depending on whether the primary lesion or dysfunction is situated in the peripheral or central nervous system. In the periphery, neuropathic pain can result from disease or inflammatory states that affect peripheral nerves (e.g. diabetes mellitus, herpes zoster, HIV) or alternatively due to neuroma formation (amputation, nerve transection), nerve compression (e.g. tumours, entrapment) or other injuries (e.g. nerve crush, trauma). Central pain syndromes, on the other hand, result from alterations in different regions of the brain or the spinal cord. Examples include tumour or trauma affecting particular CNS structures (e.g. brainstem and thalamus) or spinal cord injury. Both the symptoms and origins of neuropathic pain are extremely diverse. Due to this variability, neuropathic pain syndromes are often difficult to treat. Some of the clinical symptoms associated with this condition include spontaneous pain, tactile allodynia (touch-evoked pain), hyperalgesia (enhanced responses to a painful stimulus) and sensory deficits. 

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome— The compression and entrapment of the median nerve where it passes through the wrist into the hand via the carpal tunnel.
