FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Is carpal tunnel surgery painful?

The surgery is done under local anesthesia, so you don't feel pain during the procedure. After surgery, there is mild discomfort for a few days, easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

Can I drive after carpal tunnel surgery?

Most patients can drive within 1-2 weeks if they feel comfortable gripping the steering wheel. For manual transmission, wait until you have full grip strength.

What's the difference between open and endoscopic carpal tunnel release?

Both have similar success rates. Endoscopic has a smaller scar and may have slightly faster return to work. Open surgery allows better visualization and is often preferred.
