    If you do have to have surgery, look up the "Brown CTS procedure".

    Having had Carpal Tunnel relief surgery on both hands I can relate Red Gibson.
    I was to the point I could not lift a cup of coffee up. After surgery I had about 75-80% relief. One day I was at my Chiropractor, and mentioned it to him.
    He "adjusted" my wrists several times by pressing on the side and moving the two forearm and wrist bones. That, in effect, changed the eye shaped opening that the nerve bundle and tendons move through to a more rounded shape. WA-LA! All better ever since. So that is my advice, get thee to a bone cruncher.
    Edit: Also, give it some time for the inflamation to calm down too.
