Should I Go For Carpal Tunnel Surgery ?
My son, Cody, is a meth user, he is 22 years old. He is having Carpal Tunnel surgery this week. He has never had any problems with his hands until he started using. I am very concerned about the surgery. His dad is in denial and it pushing for the surgery. His dad is a veterinarian and well aware of medical procedures.

Hello,
Carpal tunnel surgery is a minor surgical procedure done under local anesthesia.
Days prior to surgery any drugs should be not used in order to avoid failure of anesthesia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
