Your doctor has recommended that you undergo hand surgery to treat carpal tunnel syndrome. But what exactly is carpal tunnel syndrome?
The median nerve, which carries sensation to the thumb and first three fingers, passes through a natural passageway in the wrist. This opening - called the carpal tunnel is formed by arch-shaped wrist bones and a connecting ligament.
Various conditions, such as pregnancy, injury, arthritis and changes in the tendons caused by repetitive motion can crowd the already narrow tunnel, putting pressure on the nerve.
This added pressure can cause a tingling sensation in the fingers and the thumb and may even lead to numbness, pain and restricted movement. This combination of symptoms is called the carpal tunnel syndrome.

Your doctor understands that all medical care benefits from close collaboration between physician and patient -- so be sure to review, with your doctor, all risks and alternatives and make sure you understand the reasons behind the recommendation for this particular procedure.
Now let's talk in detail about the procedure your doctor has recommended. That particular recommendation was based on a number of factors:
* the state of your health,
* the severity of your condition,
* an assessment of alternative treatments or procedures and finally,
* the risks associated with doing nothing at all.
Patient Education
And remember, the final decision is up to you. No one can force you to undergo a surgical procedure against your will.
When it comes to treating carpal tunnel syndrome, surgery is often recommended after other therapies have failed.
If your carpal tunnel syndrome is thought to be caused by repetitive motion or prolonged holding of the wrist in awkward positions,
your doctor may first ask you to wear a specially designed protective brace.
Other alternatives to surgery may include medication, exercise and physical therapy. If none of these treatments improve your condition - or if the condition was triggered by a problem that does not respond to these therapies - your doctor may recommend surgery.
Because increased pain and further restriction of hand function are likely if the condition is left untreated.
Now I'd like to introduce you to another important member of the medical team -- the nurse.

so they just cut it
and that's it?
I just had mine done & then saw this video after my operation.
How was the operation
Are u better now
Do you have to take an pain pills or antibiotic pills after?
Had mine yesterday. Not as easy as this video! I'm in the UK. No sedative. Tourniquet in place, drained my whole arm of blood by elevation and pushing the blood down my arm. Inflated the tourniquet. No numbing gel just straight in and up my hand with local anaesthetic. Ow!! Let that work. Washed the whole forearm to fingers in surgical alcohol wash. Did the surgery as per the video. Stitched with traditional stitches not dissolvable. Dressing and heavy bandaging like a boxing glove. This was the same 10 years ago when I had the other hand done apart from the tourniquet. Didn't have that last time. In a sling to keep it elevated. Advised to take paracetamol but when the anaesthetic wore off I have been in pain, bruised, swollen and have been for some codeine! I have a pain condition that I don't even take paracetamol for so I have a decent pain threshold. I just hope I feel massive benefits after this!

I'm having carpal tunnel surgery on November 30th I will be so glad I am in so much pain and tingling and numbness in my hand I got a long way tried to get in sooner but that's the soonest appointment I can get
How's it now?
@@samippudke well I never had it done because my doctor wanted to put me under but I research I did a lot of research and I found out that you can do the surgery without getting put under so I'm about to get my operation the middle of March and the doctor is going to just numb my hand and do the surgery and I can actually watch him while he do it I don't have to be put under so I'm looking forward to getting this done next month the operation is only 10 to 15 minutes long so there's no reason for me to get put under so I looked on RUclips and seen somebody getting it done without getting put to sleep
