Pain in the am-I believe I slept on it & did not wake up soon enough. Went to hand doctor who sent me to neurologist. Tested nerves in arm-reported to doctor I had moderate to severe carpal tunnel syndrome. I was informed that I could try a brace or receive an injection (More than one?) or surgery. Had injection which I did not feel any relief. Went to doctor 2 weeks after injection. He informed of many things and I asked every question I thought revalent. We decided on surgery two weeks later. Doctor told me it was not regular CTS but something very similar. Hand does not feel good, mostly because I have used my hand to do things I was told not to do. My question is, what may have been my problem-what was it if not CTS?
