I'm having surgery in left hand ( I'm left-handed) in October. Is 4 weeks off work enough for hand to heal? I do have it in both hands but left hand is becoming worse.

I know my mom's boyfriend had surgery on both hands at one time. It took him 6 weeks to recover but he is an only child and expects people to do everything for him. He was also 65 at the time. I am not sure of your age and independance but if it were me I think (33 years) 4 weeks would be fine.

Might want to get a second opinion before you get cut. See a chiropractor who can perform a proper exam for the condition , adjust wrists and do soft tissue techniques. How did they diagnos the problem, nerve conduction study is the only test that would assure the CTS and allow me to have someone cut me. Is your thumb, index and middle finger affected? Make sure its CTS and not TOS. Good luck

El túnel carpiano es un incordio hasta para los médicos, no supieron detectar la razón por la que me empezó a afectar. Yo tengo un caso leve, son cosquilleos en las palmas de las manos cuando llevo muchas horas en la oficina, pero para que no vaya a peor siempre me pongo la férula para trabajar.
Bueno, eso y una visita al médico de vez en cuando para una inyección de esteoideos.
He encontrado muchos consejos aquí, ¿igual te sirven? Un saludo.
