Have you had carpal tunnel surgery?

Hi. I know it's been ages since I've been here, just no time w. all 5dc in school, but this is still a place I value for wisdom.

After 2 years of serious pain and a few years before that of off and on troubles, I am considering cts surgery and would like your opinions, both good and bad experiences. I have worn braces, limit my time on activities that annoy, rest, ice, and all every home methods possible. It has been confirmed I have nerve damage and to top it off, my grip is getting bad this year. I have the dropsies. I have not made up my mind.

Your opinions are greatly appreciated. I will check the board throughout the day, but don't think I'll be able to answer any questions right away, so sorry if I appear rude, just busy doing school.

Thanks for all responses in advance, just in case :)

My uncle had cps on both hands, he was working at Bellsouth as the man that worked on all the wires. I'm thinking that he kept on working until he retired. Now he works on race car engines. Haven't talked to him in a while, but I think the surgery helped him. I know it's not much, but maybe it will help a little.
