i had 1 hand done in the 80's. great success. no trouble.
i had my other hand done a yr or so ago. great success. but by 18mos i was having some sx's again. one option is to live with it. the other is to redo the surgery which i'd never do unless the nerve impingement was severe. you don't want that because it can decrease the function of your hand.

one thing i'd ask for is an emg of your hands and arms.
they can tell if it's MS and nerve related or CT. that way there's no guessing.
don't take any chances when it comes you your hands.

we need those darn it!
