A member asked:
If i go 3 yr to fix carpal tunnel will my numbness and hand tightness become more permanent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This depends on the : severity of the condition along with how long the symptoms have been occuring already in addition to any underlying issues like diabetes which could also affect the prognosis. An ENG/NCV or nerve study may help but best to ask your surgeon based on your history and clinical examination.
