Dealing with Carpal Tunnel

As a writer I have run into the horrible health crisis that is carpal tunnel or at least for me it's a crisis. My hands go numb and tingle. Sometimes my fingers freeze up. I was scheduled to see the specialist back months ago but then Covid-19 hit and I am due to see him on June 9. My problem lies with the fact that I just started a new job where I have to work with my hands all day long. What can I expect if I get the surgery done on both hands and how long does it take to heal?

I worked for a hand surgeon for many years. They'll likely only do one hand at a time. You'll have stitches and a dressing for a week or so, and usually it takes 4-6 weeks for full recovery with PT/OT. I never had anyone complain very much about post op pain. Hopefully you can see your specialist again soon and get going! good luck!
