Anyone here dealt with carpel tunnel?
I have had tingling and light numbness in my right hand for a few years... went to a doctor (my MD referred me to a neurologist) they tested me (electrocution... oh so much fun!)
Yeppers, you have CP... at that time (over a year ago) they gave me a brace and sent me on my way).
Numbness/tingling didn't get better so back I go to the neurologist... need to retest so more electrocution (wheeeee!). Yep, still have CP.... Dr. tells me " you can wear the hand brace 24/7 (for the rest of my life I presume) or get surgery. I said "lets look into surgery" so I got x-rays of my wrist and I am now referred to a hand surgeon, waiting on that paperwork.
Here is the deal, my wife had CP surgery last year... two week recovery they said... easy peasy they said... long story short they had to operate THREE times over a couple months to get it right and she still is not at 100% with her wrist. I have a different doctor and will be going to a different surgeon but still not getting warm fuzzes about getting surgery.
Anyone had this surgery or know of someone who has and how did it go?
Thanks in advance.
