Hi All, I just saw this post and thought I would ask a question. My mother, who is 84 years old, just had carpal tunnel surgery done on her left wrist/hand last Monday. She is doing fine but wants to know when the tingling will go away. You just have to know that she has always been extremely healthy so this whole "nerve compression" thing is new to her. And, well, she has always been a goer and a doer so this setback is bothering her. I have explained to her and so too has her doctor that it takes time. And I should add that the CT was going on for about 3 months before she had surgery. Anyway, she is getting concerned whereas I just think she needs to give it more time. Anyone have any advice as to what I can tell her other than what I already have? Oh, and I should probably add that when the doc came and spoke to me, he said that it was extremely tight in that area. Anyway, thank you because I have just run out of explanations.
