Can a person have carpal tunnel syndrome more than once?
I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists about 15 years ago. I worked on a computer all the time in an insurance office. I had surgery on both wrists and things appeared to be fine. The last six months I have felt that familiar tingling and numbness in my left hand again. After surgery, can I get carpal tunnel syndrome again?

I have known people who still have problems with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome after surgery. I even know a few people who never experienced a better period after surgery. I did look this up and find a reliable source that indicates that less than 15% of the people who had the surgery don't see improvement but worsening conditions.
The article goes into more details indicating that even with surgery, there is no cure for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The surgery is usually used as a last resort, and can help. However, symptoms and problems are more than likely to flare up again. This is especially true for those who never stop doing the activities that have caused or made the condition worse, like working on the computers.
