Carpul (spelling) Tunnel Syndrome any sufferers ???
Got to go into hospital for both hands wondered if anybody has had the op.
Interested in the recovery time, been told a month.
Before anybody asks its when you get like a permanent pins n needles in your fingers as the nerves are being trapped as they go thru your wrists.
Many thanks

My misses is a nurse and i have just asked her about it.
Depends on your job to what the recovery time will be.
Not a painfull operation, the surgon will usually either bandage or plaster, but usually bandage.
She reckons they dont usually do both wrists at the same time.
Gets you out of washing up for a few weeks

I work in the operating theatres, as jase said, quiet rare to do both at the same time as you can't use your hands obviously 
General or local, either way you'll be out in and out in the same day
Not sure on on recovery time

Been told both at the same time. Doc recons use of fingers will be ok, but wrists will be bandaged up.
Stu/ Lee cheers will be bored shitless if it is a month, still if fingers ok can type a keyboard, get me post count up.
Driving/writing for a living kind of i`m scuppered without use of hands.
Jase good point with the washimg up
