I had Carpal Tunnel surgery on my right hand in 2014 and my left a year later , this was done at the local medical centre by a nurse practitioner . Quick procedure not more than about 65 mins from arriving to leaving . Local anaesthetic , cup of tea after . Stitches removed about 10 days later , no problems since .

      I did not do any hard work , but I am retired so no need to . Was driving less than a week after , used glove on left hand for changing gears but apart from that no problems . Just be careful for first few weeks and all should be ok .
