these kitties are adorable. I had both carpel tunnels done at once under local anesthetic, the next day I was doing most things again even even playing the piano badly though they were bandaged. that was 15 years ago , the scars are almost invisible & I've never looked back.
Hi my friend.... I had carpal tunnel really bad in both wrists. I had surgery on them. It was a breeze... quick recovery... no pain... I was so happy to use my wrists again with no pain. It has been a while now and I am perfect... It was a pleasure not to have my hands go numb all the time. Good luck with PT... If that does not work have the surgery it is quick. HUGS
They look so innocent! We know just how "innocent" kitties are.
Everybody can have different outcomes of surgery. I'd sure try PT first too. I'd discuss with the doctor if the problem could recur.
I would recommend the PT first and surgery as a last resort. I had the surgery and it wasn't any better afterward so perhaps It was misdiagnosed. I was supposed to have the other wrist done but after the poor results with the first one, I did not have the other one done. I hope you have better results.
I have had both done the surgery is really not too bad. Well worth it though instant pain relief Just a couple of weeks no heavy lifting, undoing taps, jars and a couple of other things is all had to do and that was over 30 years ago and no problems since.
Thank you, Dixie.....I needed to hear that! My hubs is all for the surgery, he thinks PT is a waste of time, but I am willing to try it......
What is pt ?I got the same only worse lol
Cats are cute if u like cats lol
Recall back in ancient history when we all told and then begged "noah" to give her wrist a break. About 50 times. Please, please take care of yourself!
Hi Vicki, love these little kitties. I've had both my wrists done with Carpal Tunnel syndrome surgery. The first one (right hand) was 38 years ago after Amy was born and the left hand over 25 years ago, best thing I ever did. As soon as the cut was done I felt relief. The doctor said when he did my right hand that it might last 20 years, well it's lasted a much longer time. I only had a local with my right hand as I was breast feeding and didn't want any drugs in my system.
The second one I was put out as I had a mole near my eyebrow that I kept hitting when brushing my hair and putting make up on. Good luck with your PT. Love Chris
