Carpal Tunnel Syndrome More Condition_symptoms My Wife (AGE 65) Was Diagnosed With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Is There More Than One Kind Of Carpal Tunnel?

My wife (AGE 65) was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Is there more than one kind of Carpal Tunnel? - carpal tunnel syndrome more condition_symptoms

The doctor recommended surgery, and if my wife is against it because he felt that surgery should be a last resort and I should try first, said other resources (such as injections of cortisone therapy) that this particular type of CTS is not the kind of injections might help with cortisone. Does that sound right?

  1. I think the doctor has been successful on the operation of his wife! One type of CTS, conservative treatments should be made before the operation. Sometimes cortisone injections contribute to inflammation. A clock-hand splint should also be used to prevent the mobility of up to several months, and repetitive movements of the wrist should be avoided. Moreover, should his wife go to a neurologist or an orthopedic surgeon and nerve conduction studies (NCV) to see how the inhibition or pressure on the median nerve. I had severe CTS in the right wrist and he is not conservative methods have helped during a period of, 3 or 4 months and I finally had to operate in 1977. My left wrist is the limit, but it was not serious enough to warrant surgery. Recently, I have a lot of Yardwork and it broke again. The use is limited by a rail, and the rest are relieved the symptoms. (I'm 56). Your wife should get a second opinion and nerve conduction studies, and to try conservative treatments before rushing in the OP!
