Hi Robbin and welcome to NeuroTalk. This place is wonderful.
I don't have Lyme disease but I did have carpal tunnel. I did have a shot and it didn't work. I ended up having surgery for that and for trigger finger at the same time. (My middle finger would lock in a bent position and it was extremely painful pulling it back out!) The surgery was a success. My dad had both hands done and both of his surgeries were very successful.
I hope you find this place as supportive and giving as I do.
