Carpal Tunnel referral - how long

4 replies

GizmoIsSoFluffy · 10/06/2022 20:00

Just wondering if anyone has any recent experience of how long a hospital referral for possible carpal tunnel syndrome is currently taking? I'm guessing quite a long time, but I'm just curious as I've been referred and it's hurting more each day.
Thankyou

I saw the GP early December, first appointment at hand clinic just before Christmas, right hand op early February and left hand op mid April. Very pleased with it and hardly any pain.

BTW the surgeon stressed the importance of keeping up the exercises and massage at home.

Thankyou, sounds like I may be waiting a few weeks yet then. Thanks for the tip on exercises and massage, I'll look into them.

The exercises and massage are to get movement back after the op and to stop scar tissue building up. Sorry should have made this clear.
