Rather a daft question I know but is it possible to have carpal tunnel syndrome for a second time?

I had both hands done 23 years ago and seem to have the same pre- op symptoms, unless of course it's the old screwmatics having a right old turn :lol:

Thanks for any help or suggestions

    Thank you for bumping this up Val :D

    Well Maggie Moo, from the comments the surgeon made it does seem possible doesn't it.

    I've got to pay a visit to the Doc's next week for the usual BP check so I'll ask her opinion.

    Thanks for your input

    Hi When I had my carpel tunnel op, they warned me that it may come back, its OK at the moment and I suppose that way about 18 months or so, ago. Sorry, best go and check it out with your doctor,though as I may not be right in your case as we are all diferent! :wink: Love Sue

    Hi Sue,

    Oh er, the blighters gave me no such warning :wink:

    However, if that turns out to be the case I'm very grateful that they've lasted so long :lol:

    I'll see what the Doc says and take it from there :)

    Many thanks
