[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 458488, member: 9169"] I'm an Orthopaedic Technologist and work in an office with several surgeons, including 2 hand surgeons. Our hand surgeons never give corticosteroid injections for carpal tunnel. Although cortisone may provide SOME temporary relieve at best, it really doesn't due much for true carpal tunnel. Have you had an EMG study? These studies are the best way to determine how severe your carpal tunnel is which helps dictate a treatment plan. If severe, surgery is almost always recommended. Have you been wearing any sort of wrist brace at night? If you sleep with your wrists flexed and your fingers (specifically your 1st, 2nd and 3rd) go numb at night, your compressing the nerves while you sleep making the condition worse. A wrist brace can really help with the nocturnal symptoms. Recovery from surgery is relatively quick, generally speaking. I've seen hundreds of people have both wrists done, with the second being done 2 weeks after the first. So that tells you a lot about recovery time. Although, keep in mind the longer the condition is present and the more severe it is, the longer the recovery can be. Best of luck!! [/QUOTE]
