Expect to be off work for at least a week.
The main problem with recovery from the CT op is simple tasks such as buttons, dressing, bra straps (if female), typing, lifting any object, etc because it is very difficult to move the hands in certain ways!
Recovery from the General Anesthetic can take a little while.
The pain responds very well to anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS)
For about 6 months after the Op you should be careful about how you move the hand and lift objects, especially things such as a driving where it is easy to forget yourself... If you push it you hand will let you know with some short sharp pain!

Possibly..You first have to establish that exposure to the type of work you do or did caused your Carpal tunnel syndrome. Also did you report it in the appropriate time frame. (i.e. did you notify your employer and follow the company's guidelines for reporting injuries) IF you have done all these things and your CTS case was accepted as work related in the first place, then the form of treatment that would follow would also be covered. Surgery being a form of treatment.
