Hi Pam,
I'm glad your husband did well with the surgery.
I've been to a neurologist and my orthopedist, and they both say

you have CTS surgery. Make sure that's what it is. And if you decide
to go ahead, get a damn good surgeon. My neighbor had this surgery a few

Hi all,
Hope everyone had a good weekend.
I was wondering if anyone has had surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome
and how successful it was?
I have it in both hands, with severe numbness, weakness, stiffness,
pain. Are
these symptoms you had?
I'm also concerned that cts is the correct diagnosis
