Severe Carpel Tunnel Pain

[AnnieE1987]

I am having severe Carpal Tunnel pain after delivering my son. I had it throughout my pregnancy, but it was very mild. Now that he has been born it's extremely painful, and causing everyday chores impossible. I can barley even hold his bottle. I've been prescribed Percocet 5/325 every 3 to 4 hrs 1 or 2 pills and IN Profren 800 mg and it's barley touching the pain. Is there something out there Lon acting that can work also what type of Dr should I see to take care of this. My PCP suggested surgery already OLD of thays the best idea.

I would see a Neurologist and have them run an EMG to confirm that it's definitely CTS. On a brighter note, the surgery is relatively simple and generally very effective.
