Arthritis Information -carpal tunnel surgery in 10 days

Share
 

I am due to have open band release surgery on 8th December. I am relatively okay with the actual procedure but am terrified of the anaesthetic. The surgeon said it was comparable to a steroid injection and I found that was horrendous. Can anybody advise. I have also been advised to go to bed early the night before and get up early enough to have something to eat and drink before my 6 hour nil by night stint - the object being i will be tired by the time I have surgery later in the morning. Can anybody say if this is worth doing. Many thanks Hi little vicky 464,
How did the surgery go in December? hope all worked out for you and that you are on the road to recovery and enjoyed christmas.
               best wishes
