Mrs D, a question.
Does the surgical route always have to be taken
to cure/reduce CTS symptoms?
I've had CTS for years & its getting slowly, progressively worse.
My orthopedic surgeon has been giving me cortisone shots about once a year for the last 3 yrs, but he says it can get so bad that even surgery won't help.
(I'm staving off the surgery, for a number of different reasons - mostly cause I can't take the long 'down time' of not working during recuperation.)
But he's a surgeon. His job is cutting, that's what he likes to do.
(and gets a hefty chunk if income from doing)
The cortisone & P-5-P help a lot, but is there a non-surgical way
to reverse the progression? Supplements? Therapy? Anything?
