Joshua Answers:

Hi Liz.

So....why exactly do you consider your Carpal Tunnel surgery a success when 7 months later all your original symptoms are returning?

Are your returning symptoms normal? In my experience, yes.

Why? Because surgery doesn't fix Tendonitis (And Carpal Tunnel is a type of Tendonitis).

Surgery cuts into a specific tight spot, but what caused the tight spot? The (alleged) tight spot is caused by other factors. The spot where you had surgery may or may not be where the problem ends up....but it's definitely not where it starts.

Go ahead and consult your doctor. Let's see what s/he says.

Let me know.
