FAQs
How do I know if it’s carpal tunnel? Numbness/tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers—often worse at night—plus hand weakness suggest carpal tunnel. We confirm with exam and, when needed, nerve testing.
Will I need surgery? Many hand issues improve with splinting, therapy, or injections. Surgery is reserved for persistent symptoms or structural problems.
How long is recovery after carpal tunnel release? Most desk work resumes in a few days; full strength returns over weeks. Your exact plan depends on your job and surgical approach.
Can arthritis at the base of my thumb be treated without surgery? Yes—bracing, therapy, and injections help many patients. Surgery is considered for pain that limits daily activities.
