For how long does carpal tunnel last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Forever: Carpal tunnel will wax and wane but does not go away without appropriate care, often times surgical release. Carpal tunnel is a structural problem at its core that is flared up by various causes and co-morbidities. Seek care with a hand surgeon.

My surgeon kept upping my dose of gabapentin when I would mention my hand and the last visit he said it was probably carpal tunnel. I've looked up the symptoms and it's not carpal tunnel. Can you give me an idea as to what may be the problem? Thank y
