If someone has carpal tunnel syndrome, would that person necessarily have to have surgery? |
I am asking this out of curiousity as my mom thinks she might have carpal tunnel syndrome. You do not have to have surgery at any time for any thing. You can change how you use your hands which will allow your wrists to heal and sometimes, the symptoms go away. Wearing a brace also helps the healing process as does ibuprofen on a regular basis. Tendonitis often is just pain, carpal tunnel sometimes is accompanied by swelling in the wrist and hand but without a doctor looking and feeling the tendons, it would be very difficult to differentiate. Carpal tunnel surgery is only a small incision but unless you stop the repetitive movement that caused the problem in the first place, it can come right back. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C... please read this on the wikipedia site, it should tell you more about the different ways it can be treated. Report It Not necessarily. Tendonitis is inflammation of the tendons in her hand where as carpal tunnel effects the nerves in the hand. Surgery is usually not needed. Steroid shots are more common. Get her a brace for the affected hand and have her wear it for two weeks straight. If it gets better, she probably has carpal tunnel. I've had a couple of friends who have been through carpel tunnel surgery and it is a simple day surgery (although it will take 6 weeks until you are back to using your wrists normally). Both surgeries were successful. Find out why your Mom is getting this - what is she doing that is repetitive for her wrists? If you want a natural cure try majoram, lavender, or eucalyptus essential oils rubbed directly into the tender area, dilute with coconut butter or olive oil. Well first of all I'll say for myself it was the best thing I ever did to have the surgery. It is not all that invasive but I did the exercises and soaks and all the stuff before doing surgery. If I had it to do over I would have gone straight to the surgery first. Good luck and tell your mom the results are worth it. happy69days |
