What is the percentage of getting rid of carpal tunnel?

The only way to get rid of it is surgery. They go into your wrist and snip a nerve. The problem is sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I first discovered it when I was in 8th grade and I'm 63 now and still have it. When I first noticed it they didn't have a name for it and didn't know much about it. So, either have the surgery or learn to live with it. It never gets any better, only worse.
