Docs thought I had it in my wrist but after tests, they found I had a trapped nerve in my neck. Had my first rib out to release the nerve. I was off work for 8 months and 9 years later it's no better They told me to give up hairdressing to ease the pain.I've had a few friends who've had the op on their wrists and it's no better either:/
Wow TMH, this is almost exactly the same as me! I had the carpal tunnel release April 2011 and some of the symptoms were relieved but in certain positions I still had them. I finally had an MRI scan earlier this year and I have a protruding disc between C5 and C6 trapping the nerve to my right arm. I've seen a neurologist today and he's recommended for the sake of the times I have the pain, it's not worth putting myself through the surgery as it's not guaranteed to work and in 80% of people it eventually rights itself anyway. I was happy with that! Ironically, I used to have a job where I sat at a desk using a computer, but that is one of the positions which still brings it on so I swapped for a career in beauty. So far, so good!
