Since you are using your hands a lot, you probably do have carpal tunnel, and would need the surgery. But I have known more than one person that thought they had it and found out that the actual problem was in their neck.

One was my dad who was going to get the surgery and saw mom's chiro first and after having adjustments on his neck, the problem in his hands went away. And just this past weekend was talking to a friend about her mother who had also expected to have the surgery but a medical dr gave her a second opinion and did nerve tests on her hands, arms etc and said the problem is not in your hands but in your neck. She also had her neck adjusted instead and problem solved. I've heard other stories the same, but these two I know to be true.

A lot of people are anti chiropractic but if you can find a good one, it might be worth it to get an opinion first, especially if you would have to pay for surgery yourself.
