Sound familiar?
You've adapted your life around the pain: avoiding stairs, skipping hikes, leaving events early from East Austin, TX.
Simple tasks - lifting a bag, turning your head, standing from a chair - trigger carpal tunnel you didn't used to have.
The fear of surgery looms every time the pain spikes - but you're not ready to go that route without exhausting conservative options.
