BigTone Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 I have recently been diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I lose feeling in my hands all the time because of it. Dr says I need surgery asap to fix the problem. Has anyone else had this ? If so does the surgery work ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 I know a few people who have had it. Very simple and effective operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This fella had the surgery, doesn't say much about the actual procedure, but it seems fair to say that he has more than maintained his dexterity in his hands, just in case you were worried.

As scary as surgery is sometimes, CTS won't get any better without treatment - assume you have used a splint? Short term pain having the operation will mean a much more comfortable later life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tone, isn’t this a symptom of repetitive hand / wrist movement? I shan’t ask you how you acquired your injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dollymarie Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 My mum had it after she broke her wrist. Surgery sorted her out and she’s had no issues since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
