Thanks for the comments guys! I appreciate it.
Pain LOL, do I know pain? Oh ya!
I had carpal tunnel surgery in Oct. 07 and I still have some problems with pains shooting up my forearm. I'm not telling you this to scare you, but it does take a long time to heal. I had to go to PT to get my hand strength back. I had scar tissue build up.
yes,possibly, it may take from several weeks to as long as a few months before you have unrestricted use of your hand and wrist. If your your surgery appears to be the alternative for relieving your symptoms , be sure to talk with your surgeon about it.
take care
