Has anybody had surgery for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

I'm due to have it in a couple of weeks, apparently to open up the tunnel in my wrist to put less pressure on the nerves.

Some people I know have been unable to use their hands much for up to ten days, one was OK within a day, so I was wondering what I should plan on.

Fortunately it's only one hand, my right, which I need for some tasks, but I can do more with my left than most right-handed people.

Please boost for reach.

@EricLawton big caveat: i haven't had CT surgery. absent other data, age can influence healing trajectories, so i'd plan for among the longer outages in the range you've heard, unless the range was for a similar age group.

I agree. Expect the best, plan for the worst.

And, most of all, be patient. It's exactly the kind of thing you don't want to go too fast with.
