I'm pretty much getting all of the basic symptoms of carpal tunnel, (DAMN THE DAY JOB!) which mainly consists of, (via Carpal tunnel syndrome: Symptoms - MayoClinic.com)
-Tingling or numbness in your fingers or hand, especially your thumb and index, middle or ring fingers, but not your little finger. This sensation often occurs while holding a steering wheel, phone or newspaper or upon awakening. Many people "shake out" their hands to try to relieve their symptoms. As the disorder progresses, the numb feeling may become constant.
-Pain radiating or extending from your wrist up your arm to your shoulder or down into your palm or fingers, especially after forceful or repetitive use. This usually occurs on the palm side of your forearm.
- A sense of weakness in your hands and a tendency to drop objects.
Has anyone here ever had carpal tunnel and/or CTS surgery? If so, how logn did it take you to regain playing ability? Did it effect your playing in any way?
thanks guys!
