I was dx'd with carpal tunnel syndrome back when I was 17 and 18. I did

have the surger for it soon after on both hands. I was told then, that

this condition usually affectd elders. My symptoms went away. I started

having the numbness and tingling again and my first thoughts were cts.

The the test came back negative by an emg. It was only after a dx'd of

acm/sm that we knew it wasn't cts.

Rick only had the left hand done before they figured out it was really ACM...and

even after the decompression they now want to do his right hand. Guess their

logic is " if it didn't work the first time....try try again? "
