excel, how did your operation turn out? Many men had the carpel tunnel operation but it was not always a big success. In a couple of cases men I worked with had little or no improvement. At my assessment I was not considered bad enough for the operation, only mild discomfort and only the top half of my fingers go white if I am outside on a cold day, LOLOL.
MrSparex mentioned hanging your hand over the edge of the bed and yes that does work for me.
