Jürgen Milski reveals his shock diagnosis: Why the Ballermann star refuses surgery!

Jürgen Milski suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome. A condition that may not be immediately familiar to everyone, but is actually quite common. Up to ten percent of adults in Germany are affected by it. Essentially, in this nerve disease, something presses on the median nerve, which can trigger unpleasant symptoms.

Jürgen's Ordeal and the Alarming Symptoms

The 61-year-old clearly remembers the onset of his symptoms: "It started with one finger. Eventually, three fingers were affected, and I would wake up every night and had to shake my hand." He describes the feeling as a mix of numbness and tingling, his hand constantly fell asleep at night. Understandably, he was worried. "I didn't know what was behind it: It could have been the heart," Milski reveals. He had no idea where these frightening symptoms could be coming from.

Healing in Sight? Milski Rejects Surgery!

According to Christoph Kleinschnitz from the Essen University Hospital, carpal tunnel syndrome is well treatable. An operation could even bring complete healing by removing the growths and permanently relieving the nerve from pressure. But for Jürgen Milski, such a procedure is currently absolutely out of the question.

He does not want to go under the knife and has a very clear reason for it: "I want to avoid the surgery for as long as possible. I simply don't have the time for it." The singer is performing several times a week at Ballermann this season and simply cannot afford a longer break.

Alternative Instead of Scalpel

The former "Battle of the Reality Stars" participant is therefore initially relying on conservative treatment. A special splint is supposed to stabilize his wrist and alleviate the symptoms. Even though the symptoms have not completely disappeared, Milski hopes to continue managing his stressful everyday life this way. We wish Jürgen a speedy recovery!

Info: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition where the median nerve (nervus medianus) is compressed in the so-called carpal tunnel at the wrist. Typical symptoms include tingling, numbness, and pain in the thumb, index, and middle fingers, often intensified at night or with certain hand movements. In advanced stages, it can lead to muscle atrophy and loss of strength in the thumb base. Causes are usually repetitive strain, monotonous hand movements, injuries, or inflammatory diseases like rheumatism. Diagnosis is made through clinical tests and nerve measurements. Treatment includes splints, physiotherapy, medication, or in severe cases, surgery is recommended to reduce pressure on the nerve and prevent permanent damage.
