Carpal Tunnel Decompression

I had a Carpal Tunnel Decompression operation, performed by Zaf Naqui.

I was very nervous about the operation. Mr Naqui was very reassuring and explained everuthing and answered every question I had about the procedure. The whole operation from start to finish took 7 minutes would you believe?

My main fear about the procedure was the pain or being able to feel what was going on as your awake. I can honestly reassure anybody, who is hesitant, that there was none whatsoever and I was very surprised when he told me the procedure was over as I thought it would have took at least half an hour !!

I went back after 10 days to have my stitches out and to see how I was getting on. The wound was the neatest wound I have ever seen in my life.
I was given some simple exercises to do over the coming months to help with the flexibility, swelling and healing.

It’s been 10 months now since the operation and I’m pleased to say it was a real success. I don’t even have a scar as it was so neatly done. I would encourage anyone who needs the procedure to get it done as soon as possible. As the relief is instantaneous and well worth your hand being out of action for a couple of weeks. It was so simple and easy I am hoping to get my other hand done this year.

Attached are some photos of before during and after.
