Suggest Treatment For Mild Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Hello Doctor, I have been diagnosed with mild carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand and the surgeon i consulted suggests that I get an operation done to correct it. Is such a drastic measure advisable for mild CTS? Are there natural non-invasive alternatives? The reason I ask is because my left hand also appears to be developing similar symptoms and the prospect of multiple surgeries is a little frightening.

Hi,
For mild CTS you can go for physiotherapy along with steroid injection in your wrist and take Gabapentin and nortriptyline. If it is not getting relieved by these means then go for surgery.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
