Firstly thanks for the replies. I didn't have keyhole surgery it was just the straight forward open approach, The surgeon said that would be the best option for me and that the healing time would be around 3 to 6 months. As far as the pain goes my forearms ache its like they're fatigued from a hard work out, but thats when I've only done very little with my hands and my hands feel like they've been pulled off and put back on again (weird).But after a little hard work or work that involves awkward hand movements my hands and forearms really hurt . If I keep busy during the day I don't seem to pay too much attention to the aches but the moment I try to relax or sleep the pain drives me up the wall. I have had two nerve conduction studies after the surgery and both showed improvement from before the surgery. I don't really know what else to write, but any advice or useful knowledge is appreciated. CHEERS.

Hello people about 18 months ago I had carpel tunnel surgery on both my hands and since then the typical pins and needles symptoms have gone but now I suffer constant pain in my forearms and hands I'm an active person and if I do a normal hard days work (or even a couples of hours) the pain or discomfort drives me crazy. Does anyone know why this might be ? My doctor has no idea. Or even I anyone has heard of this type of thing I'd interested to hear that I'm not a one off, I'm not a nutter well not yet anyway ha ha. ;)
