    I Survived Carpal Tunnel Surgery!

    I am not a FB fan but there is a TON of information there, seriously I really wish I had found this prior to surgery.

    Honestly, the pain I had, nothing could touch it but a dangerous amt of morphine or something very controlled. There is gabapentin people take for nerve pain but you have to take that routinely, I believe. I don't know if you can take that as needed. I never tried it. I thought about asking my Dr for sleeping pills, it got to where I was afraid to go to sleep. But I only had to wait about 10 days.

    Hi Ron,

    I used a cold compression wrap to get rid of pain and a blood flow stimulator to heal it. The cold wrap was amazing at getting rid of the tingling.
