I was diagnosed from my GP in October for carple tunnel and have been taking antinflamatory meds and wearing a splint 24/7 and have no improvement. They have scheduled me for a nerve test then told surgery will be next, so just wondering what the recovery is like? Also wondering how little Nguyen I could be off work? I work at a grocery store so lifting up to 50 lbs is a daily thing and repetitive motion with my wrist is needed. Right now i can’t go without the brace . If I try to not wear brace I’m in so much pain if my wrist even bends a little in any direction. I am so sick of this brace. I would just like to know what the recovery will be like and how long I might be out of work for so if anyone could give me a little advice and clarify what the recovery is like I would greatly appreciate that. I also wonder what are the do’s and dont’s after surgery ? Thank you in advance

    I had my nerve test and I do not have carple tunnel I have a damaged nerve in my neck so now I have my appointment with my orthopedic dr to see what steps we take from here. I’m glad we know what is wrong . Best of luck to you all and my prayers  are with each of you.
