A member asked:

Do you know are my hands doomed because of carpal tunnel syndrome?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Not likely!!: You should see an orthopod and get them treated. These are easily treatable conditions, if treated early. Majority patients do well with braces or surgery.

No: A carpal tunnel release is a very effective procedure for patients that have failed conservative care.
