I had carpal tunnel surgery about 2 yrs ago on my draw hand. I don't remember exactly how long it took but it was not a long time. I started back slowly with low weight. Today Im shooting 60lbs with no problem.

Just my opinion: I would try everything I can before I have surgery. Do your research and see whats out there. I tried a lot of different things. Nothing worked for me but something may work for you. Good luck.

Done both hands once.  They say I need again.  Within a month I was shooting.

Had my draw hand done last year in June and was shooting within a month.
I was fishing within 10 days.
The fear of losing time in the woods cost me several years of misery. The surgery was almost instant relief.

Yep.  Could finally sleep a few hours a night.

I am going to do my usual.  Schedule right before the end of the year to take advantage of the already paid on other stuff for out of pocket on the insurance.  Every year it gets spent anyway.

I've been needing this surgery on both for a good 15 years now, was always too busy working and trying to pay bills, had no time. I'm retired now...I really need to do this surgery.
