When does one require surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome?

When the symptoms progress and the pain is continuous, surgery may be the only option. Today, the surgery can be accomplished using a camera and a very small incision. However, surgery should never be the first choice of carpal tunnel. The surgery is purely elective and should only take place after other non-surgical interventions have failed. Overall, the results of surgery are horrible to say the least. Always get a second opinion and after that, go for a non-surgical alternative.
