Grace, it's good to hear you had good results.I had been sleeping with braces on my hands since mid summer due to the pain waking me up at night,
so I'll welcome any improvement!

I had used braces on both hands at night, also. In addition, the left hand would often bother me when I was driving - something about the way I held my hand on the wheel.
Once surgery was over, the left hand was perfect, and for whatever reason, the right has not bothered me again. The left was the worst from the beginning, but the nerve conduction/emg tests showed problems with both. I sort of figured the right hand corrected itself so it wouldn't have to have the surgery
Here's hoping your outcome is similar to mine![]()
My best wishes for a complete recovery.I almost cut my... the one next to the thumb? off a few years ago. There was some nerve damage, so I still feel a little "numb" in that finger. It has got better, though.

I had my right done about a year after a wrist fracture, with excellent results. I would even take the brace off at work when I had writing to do, since I couldn't write to save my backside with it on, and working in an office, there was a lot of writing as well as computer work. That didn't have any ill effects tho........
Hoping you get good results too!![]()

To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

A few years back when I was still working I had a test for carpel tunnel. I didn't need surgery but had to wear a brace to work and that was horrible. I finally had to take time off. I still have pain sometimes but now at least, I can walk away from the computer any time I want too. Hope you feel better soon.
