I'm sure many do recover, we just don't see them on forums because they are doing well & functioning fairly well.

Hank Blalock the texas rangers ballplayer had surgery last year and is back to playing ball. - but he is also having misc other injuries that take him in & out of the active roster... makes me wonder about the spread of myofascial issues..
many of us seem to have that sort of problem.

Ahhh , you had a carpal tunnel surgery already ...that might have been what is called a double crush syndrome .... {when compression is in 2 places- outlet & wrist or outlet & ulnar, there can also be a triple crush involving all three area}
Did your hands recover well?

you might find some info in these that will be of help-
