Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

I am having pain in my thumb and hand from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Medicines and the brace I wear at night are not helping with the symptoms. What can I do?

There is surgery for people who have symptoms that are refractory to medical therapy, including medicines and a night time brace. Surgeons can cut the ligament that can frequently push on the nerve that causes the symptoms. Frequently, this will completely eliminate the symptoms.
