I have been told I have carpal tunnel syndrome. my doctor says I need surgery. Can you advise?


Surgery is never the first choice treatment for carpal tunnel. In addition, the results of surgery SUCK. Those individuals who have minor symptoms should discontinue whatever they are doing which arouses their symptoms. This includes taking break from repetitive work and applying cold packs to reduce the swelling on the wrist. The other options include wrist splints, pain medications, injection of corticosteroids and surgery.
