k so I know I have carpal tunnel and I go to my doctor on the 26th to see if I need surgery but I'm freaking out about work! what should I do, wait til the end of summer til I go back to school or let it recover over summer and get it done asap
I'd say get it done as soon as possible (that is if you need surgery), the longer you wait, the worse your condition could get, also because you are in a lot of pain.
Either way, it'll probably take a couple of months for you to recover from the surgery (it usually does for carpal tunnel surgery). but luckily there are VERY few cases where patients do not recover after surgery.
