Carpal tunnel syndrome.

It looks like I'm going to have to have the CTR surgery. Anyone had to do this? Do you ever really get full strength back in that hand?

Everyone I’ve heard talking about this procedure had nothing good to say. I’ve had CTS and it’s gone away only to come back but never had surgery. I just quit doing what I was doing that was aggravating the situation.
Mother in law has had both wrists done and she’s already back to 65-70% of the initial condition.
To me it’s not worth it, changing your habits seems to be way more beneficial.

Thanks for the info.
I've been putting it off since the 90's. It's just more and more painful. I'm getting desperate or wouldn't even consider it. The shots don't even do much anymore.

You talking cortisone? I’ve always denied myself cortisone because it masks the pain which causes you to use the joint like normal and thus causing more damage. A vicious cycle. Not trying to be a downer bro, just things to keep in mind.

BPC-157 and TB-500 might be a long term solution for you brother. Never know till you try.

Thanks! I would certainly consider it. I don't want them to cut it. That thing is there for a reason! When they cut it it just tries to heal back together anyway.

I just have to have some relief. Getting to the point that if I can't do anything with my hands anyway, I figured maybe let them try the surgery. I have read about BPC-157. Just didn't think it would have much of a chance to help this. I would be amazed if it could actually put a dent in this pain.

OK, after some more thought and research, TB-500 would be an option I think. The carpal tunnel syndrome is not really damage to that ligament. It is damaging the median nerve by pinching it as it passes under the ligament. I would think that the BPC-157 wouldn't have much of an effect, as it's claim to fame is healing actual torn ligaments and tendons. The TB-500 however is supposed to be a really good anti-inflammatory agent, which I would think could work similar to the cortisone injections. Looks like I'm looking at anywhere from $35 to $80 a week to try it.

OK. Sorry. Edited to remove source. Thanks! I didn't notice any peptide suppliers as board sources so I didn't think it would be bad. I'll check to see if I can get it through one of the sponsors though!
