I hope you get the help you need
----------------------------------------------------------
Albeit I think the procedures are better today, less invasive too
I do have a buddy Don T., that went thru CT stuff
sorry to say he was never, & will never be the same
he had it really bad, in both wrists
he was a machinist, fabricator/welder in the shipyards
since he was 17 y/o (extremely repetitive work)
later became a Racecar fabricator/builder
he helped me with my F/C & both my Altereds
he's a great fabricator/welder, decent machinist
he says the pain or numbing/tingling (like falling asleep)
he'd have
isn't really there anymore
after the second surgery to reduce the size of the tendons
& IIRC enlarge carpel tunnel hole
but the tendons (possibly nerves I don't remember)
going thru the narrowed wrist tunnels
I think it was,
he said, they were
scar tissued really bad,
they had to go back in a do something about them too...
IIRC he ended up having a 3rd operation too...
He had really good surgeons & really good insurance too...
he had it done in his late 40's too
he still struggles some 30 years later, he's in his late 70's now
(
albeit he's always been a bit of a complainer , not just the wrists either)
I think he said his alteratives were to have his wrists fused
he wanted to avoid that at all costs
----------------------------------------------------------
I know a couple of carpenters that have had it too
nowhere near
as bad as Don T. did, thank goodness
They got a lil' clean up on the tunnel done & all's good
they're in their 60's today, had it done maybe 15-20 years ago now

I hope all goes well for you...
