I had it...
Hands would fall asleep at night when sleeping, Driving, Riding the bike, Just sitting. Was horrible.
Went s a sports medicine doctor in NAPA that my wife found, First thing they did was look at my wrists via sonogram. confirmed the issue and then there on the spot gave me cortisone injections.
The next day it was like I was 18 again, no pain. They gave me some things to try and I did but in the end the pain came back. I think I did the shots for about 2 years.
They finally went in and cut me. But not the way you normally hear or see about.
They used a tiny saw inside a tube that went in at about the palm of my hand and came back out just beyond the wrist. the tube was about the size of a 16 penny nail. and everything was done from the inside. When I left there there were 2 cotton balls taped to my hand and wrist and I was told to leave them there for 20 minutes or so.
That was on a Thursday and I was back at work on a Monday. I had to have them done at separate times due to a blood pressure issue (I guess it got a bit high on the fist go)
They did the second one a month later.
Anyways the procedure is called the MANOS and was incredibly easy and didn't put me out of work. I worked for a water utility at the time and had worked in the water well industry for years before that working on pumps and turning pipe.
I do everything I did before the procedure and would never even know I had it.
