Always on the sidelines...

[Guest guest]

Hello, everyone. I am not new to the forum but new to posting,

instead of always reading. Just to update everyone on my condition, I

have severe Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Degenerative Disc Disease, and a

heart condition.

I am finally getting surgery for the Carpal Tunnel on Tuesday, June

10th, on my right hand. After 6 to 8 weeks, I will have surgery on my

left hand. I am having the Carpal Tunnel Release. I have been

suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome for over 10 years.

I am currently 29 years old but feel much older. I am thankful to

have a very understanding and caring family and doctor. I may

possibly have a spinal fusion on L5-S1 this summer, also.

I am thankful for everyone here and your wonderful information. I

also enjoy the caring environment we have here. Please pray for me

and my family. I will also say a prayer for everyone here.

If anyone has had the Carpal Tunnel Release surgery, please tell me

all about your experiences with the surgery. I am anxious to know how

the surgery went and the recovery process.

I am also wondering who I need to inform about me having a high

tolerance to pain medications. I am very excited about the surgery

and am very thankful to be having it done because I really need the

relief!

I want to thank everyone again for reading my long post and want to

thank the moderators here for their hard work and patience.

Sincerely, Tamara (Arkansas)
