The surgery will probably have a few negatives as well. Ask about expected results and capabilities. You may end up “hamstrung.” I don’t understand why they don’t build a bridge to prevent that, but, at least when I looked at it, they didn’t. (Hamstrung is when your tendons pop out through the opening hey leave where they split open your wrist to give you more room.)
I have had fantastic luck with 200mg doses of Celebrex. It goes out through the liver, which is more robust than the kidneys where most NISADS are broken down. I have been on it daily since the early 90’s. (Other than sudden onset conservatism, there are no side effects.)
I developed a version of CT by using a computer mouse all day long. The solution for me was to switch to my left hand. At first my mouse movements were a joke. But by week 3 I was just as proficient with my left hand as I was with my right hand. After that I switched back and forth whenever I noticed stinging in a wrist.
