Hi C.,
I had surgery for carpal tunnel about four years ago. My doctor was Dr. Ted Peters at Grapevine/Baylor. I loved him! I tried physical therapy, steroid shots, as well as other various methods to try to stop the discomfort in my right hand. My surgery was very successful. I could tell a difference within 48 hours. There was very little pain (the iv hurt worse than the incision) and I do not have a scar. The only "drawback" to the surgery is that you have to wear a splint for 10 days straight - can't get it wet, etc. It was a little bit of a challenge to wash my hair and take a bath (as well as other personal things) during that time. The surgery was well worth it for me though. Good luck!
