Great questions Dana, we thank you for reaching out. First, it is important to understand that Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a chronic hand condition that recurs in over 90% of patients even after a successful Carpal Tunnel Surgery. So, there is no permanent fix for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome for most people.

Secondly, the Carpal Tunnel Symptoms usually come back within 6 months to 8 years. Frankly the benefits of Carpal Tunnel Surgery are too short lived to justify the risks, downtime and the potential complications associated with scar tissue formation.

The first surgical procedure has a success rate of about 50 – 60% based on patient surveys that are taken shortly after surgery, before most people realize that the annoying, frustrating and painful symptoms are going to return. Once people experience recurring Carpal Tunnel Symptoms, their willingness to count the procedure successful is significantly reduced.

Second surgeries have a success rate based on patient surveys of 35 – 40%. Third surgeries should not be performed on the same hand based on recommendations from Medical Text Books.

 
So, the question looms:

Why go down the Carpal Tunnel Surgery path if the condition comes back within 1 to 8 years?
