I'm having a NCT done this Thurs (6/26) a.m.
for my neurologist's comparative testing. They can
foreward the results to the surgeon cause they're all
at Johns Hopkins together.
We'll see what they have to say after that.

I do not have pain so severe it keeps me awake, altho
I do wake up to CTS pain, maybe 3-4 nites out of 7.
I 'shake it out' and get back to sleep in 1/2 hour or so.
My problem is that my CTS affects my fine motor skills
and I'm constantly dropping things and have numbness
with moderate pain frequently- but not all the time.
That's why there's no rush to do it - pain wise.
But I'm afraid if it gets so bad that there will be irreparable
harm and the surgery won't be able to fix it all- if I wait too long.
(at least that's what the surgeon is talking about,
but I've been putting him off for the last 24 mos. by having him give me cortisone shots once every 10-12 mos)
