Good morning!! What kind of a doctor are you using? I have appointment tomorrow with Orthopedic Hand Specialist. I know I have CTS in both hands but so much worse in my right. At first I thought it was from my Reynauds and my Erosive osteoarthritis in both hands but last 6 weeks or so it’s gotten so much worse. I have Lupus, MCTD. I don’t even want to go to bed at night because that’s when it all comes unraveled and the pain starts. Ended up at Urgent Care Saturday morning because I had not slept in two nights. Dr increased my Gabapentin, gave me muscle relaxers and pain killers for a couple days and a shot. This is making my life miserable. But I was just curious on which doctor you are using.
Thank you and good luck with your recovery!❤️🩹

Hi, Callie,
I'm so sorry to hear about the pain you're going through.
I had CT release surgery on my right hand/wrist this past April, and on my left in late June. Both were done by the same orthopedic hand surgeon. I've had good results from both, although I still have some minor pain and sensitivity around the incision sites.
It's important to work with an occupational therapist, too, as there are exercises that will help you.
Wishing you the best of health!
