For your sake I hope the surgery *remains* successful. I've met many who've had the surgery, yet had the condition eventually return.
It was at the advice of my friend, whose mother in law had the surgery twice and was still affected by Carpal Tunnel, that I tried a chiropractor. It took a few adjustments, but the results were phenomenal. I didn't have trouble with it again for probably four years.
Then it returned about five years ago. I changed my diet (which I need to do again). I also started taking supplements, etc. I decided to spend my money in that direction, in an attempt to alleviate IBS symptoms. Oddly enough, this diet change got rid of the CT problems.
Normally the chiro can resolve this issue with me (when it returns), but I've been battling a huge back problem. So, for over a year I've had recurrences of CT. Unfortunately, this go round has not been improved by chiropractic adjustments, but by massage therapy, instead.
When I got weekly massages, the CT went away. But now that I dropped down to once every other week, it has returned. I am getting osteopath manipulations on the weeks in between the massages, so that's why I cut down on getting them weekly.
I've had acupuncture, but it never did anything for CT. I do know of others who have had success with it.
I said all that to say this: there is no one reason why everyone gets CT, so there isn't going to be one cure/remedy for getting rid of it. If something doesn't work, move on and try a different avenue. I, however, would like to think that I'd never have surgery for this. But, I've learned to never say never.
