I've had carpal tunnel since I was pregnant 19 years ago.4 years ago I had the surgery on my right hand. Since then I've had a botched cholecystechtomy and been diagnosed with hashimotos hypothyroidism, then RA then fibro and lung disease. So far I've not been well enough to have the left hand surgery and it seems pointless now as my right hand rapidly became crippled with the RA after surgery anyway. Can barely use my hands. Some days I couldn't even type this x
