My hand therapist has agreed, after 3 months, there hasn't been much relief, other than not using my right hand at all! (which is rather impossible for me!  lol)
I'll probably have to wait a while to get it done anyway, and I'll probably change my mind a hundred times before I even have a surgery date! lol But it looks like it is needed, for the right hand at least...
Now, don't talk me out of it...I need encouragement here!  lol

Hello - I had 2 CT surgeries a few years ago (separate of course). After the first one, I begged my doctor not to wait for the second one. I did have to wait about a month or so. It did nothing for the numbness which was due to nerve damage but it helped the pain immensley. The pain at night would keep me awake. After the surgeries the pain disappeared and I could sleep again. I had the a tiny slit made in the palm of my hand near the wrist. A plastic surgeon performed the operation and you can't see where the surgery was done.
Good luck!
Cheryl
