Perhaps nothing. More than likely, if this is workers comp they have already expended at least 15k-30K for surgeon/physician fees, hospital, medicine, lab bills,time off work etc..
If for instance after your surgery you do not have any type of impairment to your hands (which typically happens more in non-work comp cases) you would usually not be entitled to any additional money because like I said you have received thousands of dollars of free care already.
On the other hand, pun intended, if your ortho hand surgeon gives you an impairment rating..it will be given to the hand and then to the upper extremities and then to the body as a whole. So it is impossible to tell you how much you should ask for, because if your surgery went great and you have no residual symptoms you may be entitled to very little vs if you had severe CTS and permnanent damage and a large impairment can be proven you may be entitled to more. Remember lawyers will get about 25-30% off the top if they are involved.

Yes. Steroids are often used in treating carpal tunnel syndrome, as it reduces the inflammation and swelling. There are 2 forms, oral (by mouth) and by injection.

One study showed this is a good alternative to carpal tunnel surgery for at least a year.
