Anyone suffer with Carpal Tunnel ?

[Annor]

Just wondering if anyone here has it ?

How bad did you have it?

Did you have surgery for it?

How long did it take for you to go back to work?

I deal with CTS pt's in my office...but they are not nurses....our jobs require alot of use with our hands....blah,blah,blah.

I hate being the pt....I am freaking out , knowing I need this surgery

I have it very bad in my right hand.....had a EMG on friday, and was told that I MUST have surgery.

Now I have to figure out ,when to fit it into my schedule...

Had dx years ago. Had my own 1 person biz so could not take off from work. Someone told me to try vit B complex with B12. Sold the biz and have been on vit since. It really does make a diff. Especially in wrist that was not as bad. Still get flair-ups occaisonally, but avoided the knife. If you start asking around, I'm sure like me, you will find people who wish they had not done the surgery. At the least, maybe the vit B will avoid you having to have your lesser wrist cut on.
