Yeah Patriot I believe that you are correct that it might be fixable, My doctor is the doctor that does all the operations on the San Francisco Forty Niners, He's actually the best hand sergeon in Monterey County, so I trusted his recommendation that we operate to fx it. But since all this went down at the hospital the other day I have been watching a lot of videos on You Tube that show many different ways to fix the Carpal Tunnel by doing certain exercises, so I've been trying them and I used the electrical tape method on the wrist and I was was able to actually sleep for about 6 hours last night and for Me that is huge.Thanks for sharing your story with us all. wwg1wga
