I'm pretty sure I have carpal tunnel as I have all the symptoms, and the doctor said that's most likely what it is. I'm doing all the necessary treatment, so how long until it goes away?

Are you pregnant? If so, it will go away soon after you deliver.If not, I am not sure, but I know I would check with a naturopath and maybe try acupuncture.

Carpal tunnel CTS does not go away but it worsens very gradually.finally the pain&numbness may disappear to be replaced by weakness in the hand, it will be too late then to save the nerve.the surgery for CTS is done under local anesthesia&it takes about 5 minutes.recovery will be in about 2-3 weeks.
