When it's bad enough to require surgery, it's much worse than tingling, trust me. It wakes you up in the night, even when wearing the hand braces. Intense burning, numbness, then feeling extremely cold and painful pins and needles. Trying to shake this away doesn't work. Doing anything during the day that requires the hands to be in certain positions brings on the same symptoms, especially numbness and painful tingling.

Surgery on both hands after 10 yrs was the best thing I've ever done!

Or you could always try a mental placebo instead of medication, Christianity is the most mental placebo i know.

Tingling is not the worst thing in the world. But recovering from surgery, especially that upon the hand, is harsh.
