Just revive this thread, see if anyone can relate or has any suggestions.

My DH was diagnosed with CTS last year some time. Dr Incoll referred him for carpel release surgery, which was performed on the 12th of February. It was endoscopic release, but to be honest, the incision looks more like an short open hand (single wrist incision 2-3cms long instead of two 'punctures'). Now a month later he still has pain in the wrists. Naturally at first I was reassuring him that it was normal - this was trauma to the body and its going to object to it - strenuously, but as you can imagine, that is starting to wear thin with him.

Anyone else had carpal release and has any ideas if this is normal, or if there is something he can do to fix it. They gave him panadine forte when he left the hospital, but he doesn't want to be using them a month later.

In addition to that, the feeling still hasnt returned to his right hand. He is starting to worry it wont ever come back - and now instead of it being just numb, he has pain that wasnt there before. I just want to find something to make the recovery time easier for him to handle.
