Need info on carpal tunnel syndrome - 12/21/21 09:05 PM
I have been babying my hands for years and getting along ok kind of. Lately the prickling and numbness has increased a bunch. Luckily I can still play and it hasn't affected my ability and I just try to ignore it while performing or anything else as far as that goes.
I recently had another nerve conduction test. A few years ago it was considered moderate. This time it is diagnosed as severe.
The doctor is referring me to an orthopedic surgeon.
Don't know if he is just wanting to do surgery or try a more conservative approach like wearing splints and physical therapy.
Would like to especially hear from anyone with first hand experience, (no pun intended), regarding surgery success or problems and splints and physical therapy.
Thanks
Scott
