What Is The Average Recovery Time For Carpal Tunnel Surgery?
hi. I actually just had the nerve conduction test done where they used the electrodes and zapped my hands and arms and once that test was done they did the one with the needles where there stuck em in several places on the hands and up around the elbow ect. I just cant remember the exact names of both tests but at the end of the test I was told I do have carpal tunnel but he couldn t tell me yet as to what severity. if I have to have surgery how long does it usually take to recover? also can they do both hands at the same time? I m real worried about missing time from work.
