Carpal tunnel surgery worked for me. However, It took a year to fully recover. It was one of the surgeries I would highly recommend. I had trigger finger surgery at the same time as CTS. I did have issues for several months. The doctor prescribed PT with someone trained in Hands. I did that for a couple of months, then needed patience. I did my hand exercises during that time. They are easy to do and can be done anywhere.
Wishing your wife all the best. I have been diagnosed with sclc. Never a smoker and very active. Treatments have not started yet. I guess it's going to be a rough year with probable lasting side effects. Sounds wonderful. Life sure throws us curves. My plans for the future have sure changed. I am surmising that my cancer was caused from radiation I had for breast cancer in 1991. We make the best decisions based on the information we have at that time. Then we go forward.
Take care of yourself as your wife's caretaker. Keep on top of your health.
Blessings.
