One other thing: people on this thread have mentioned avoiding surgery at all costs. If your symptoms are mild and not worsening, that's not unreasonable. But if you have severe carpal tunnel for long enough, permanent nerve damage can occur. So that even with surgery, your hands may never feel normal again. That's not meant to scare anyone, but it's the flip side to waiting. If you're getting atrophy (muscle wasting) of the fleshy muscle in the palm at the base of your thumb (thenar eminence), then you've waited too long.
