This is good news indeed! I have had carpal tunnel syndrome for years. I never opted for the surgery because I can't bear the thought of being out of commission, even if it is only for a few weeks. I've also heard of surgeries "gone awry"--or perhaps that someone didn't follow post-operative care instructions too well, but still...that just means...more surgery. Carpal tunnel syndrome here in the US is a cause of lost wages and lost productivity for those affected. And it can be painful as well.
If you're like me , you have new reason for new hope! A Spanish study followed 120 females with carpal tunnel syndrome for a 12 months, and found that physical therapy vs surgery outcomes were about equal. So for those of you who feel as I do--here's an option to explore!
