I would Love to hear from anyone who has had this surgery. I also had surgery for cubital tunnel which is at the elbows. I had the surgery 2 years ago and after the very long painful healing process felt some relief only in the way that I could lift items that were normally to heavy for me. (Such as a gallon of milk!) Up untill 4 months ago I dealt with alot of anger and dissapointment that the surgery was such a failure. 4 months ago I had to quit my parttime job as the constant pain, tightness and inflammation was unbearable. I wear my splints to bed every night and am physically limited. I feel so deceived by the promise that this surgery would free me from my dibilitating "Carpal Tunnel Syndrome" Since I have not been working I atleast am not dealing with the relentless "Flair Up's" Looking forward to hearing from those on there outcome....laceyemerill Hello, I am Matt Gitkin, the VP for a new start up company that is hoping to bring a new FDA Approved medical device to the marketplace within the coming year. The Device is called Carpal-Ease and the company is called Pain Mediations, Inc. Information can be found at our site http://www.carpal-ease.com there is also a guest sheet to fill out so we can keep you updated on the companies activity. We are in the throes of completing a clinical study at NYC's Beth Israel Hospital and thus far the data is showing excellent results for us. So, if all goes well - next year Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Repetitive Stress Iinjury sufferers will have a proven and tested way to releive themselvs from pain. Let's hope.... it can also be applied to user that have had carpal release surgery - and has show promising results. I am having problems due to Arthritis and if they offer me surgery will say NO! I have yet to meet anyone who had carpel tunnel surgery and improved, so reckon I will just keep doing what I can. |
