Literally within hours of my surgery my carpal tunnel symptoms are gone. With the exception of some numbness still in the tips if my fingers, I am symptom free. Dr.Jurbala explained due to the length of my carpal tunnel suffering it would likely take a bit longer for all symptoms and numbness to dissipate. Incision site 3 days out hardly hurts at all, just a bit stiff. I am profoundly grateful I found Dr. Jurbala, I have been suffering for over 2 years. My only regret is that I waited so long to have it done! Dr. Jurbala's staff is also wonderful and caring, they explained the procedure every step of the way. If you are suffering, I would recommend not hesitating to see Dr. Jurbala as soon as possible!
