Tested For Carpal Tuna In Hand. Had Operated Dupe-trons. Have Problem In Middle. MRI Done. Advise On Surgery

I am presently being tested for carpal tuna in right hand, and have my dupe-trons that Dr. Hicks operated on in 1994, the middle figure is giving me problem.. My family physician, Dr. Brink has had me go for mri's on my right shoulder and neck at a great expense to me because it was performed at the clinic at 5th and Columbia. I am wondering how long do I have to wait for the operation.

Dear sir,

Till you are waiting for surgery you can take a steroid injection for CTS which will relieve your symptoms.
