Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is from pressure on the median nerve in your wrist. This causes pain, tingling and numbness in your hand and fingers. This can sometimes radiate further up the arm too. Symptoms are often worse at night.
Mild cases often improve with use of wrist splints and hand exercises. You can often treat it yourself, but it can take months to get better.
For those with more significant or troublesome symptoms surgery is the most effective option for long term relief.
Carpal Tunnel Decompression Surgery
Surgery aims to reduce the pressure on the carpal tunnel which contains your median nerve (the nerve responsible for the symptoms you are experiencing). Carpal tunnel decompression surgery is also known as carpal tunnel release surgery. The surgeon will divide the carpal ligament which is connected to the bones in your wrist. This reduces the pressure in the carpal tunnel, which in turn reduces the pressure on the median nerve (which is what causes the typical symptoms of tingling, numbness and pain in your hand).
Will I be awake for the procedure?
Carpal tunnel surgery does not require a general anaesthetic. Therefore, you will remain awake throughout the procedure - which is carried out under local anaesthetic.
As the area will be numbed there should be no pain during the procedure. You will be able to return home immediately after the procedure.
Recovery time
As this is a minor surgery under local anaesthetic, there is minimal downtime after the procedure.
Most patients will experience some degree of swelling and discomfort in the first week which can be managed with simple pain killers and keeping the hand elevated when not in use.
Recovery times vary from patient to patient but typically stiffness can last 4 to 6 weeks and it can take 6 to 12 weeks to regain full power in the hand.
Return to work can be as early as 1 week after procedure for lighter duties such as office based jobs. For jobs involving manual labour and heavy lifting it can take 2 to 3 weeks before you are ready to return.
