How long is recovery from carpal tunnel/ulnar nerve decompression surgery?

Dadominguez; Yes really it is normal to still feel Pain after just a week. This is a very common surgery but to be honest, all of us heal differently like anything else but the doctor that did the surgery would be better to answer this knowing how bad it was and when they want you to go back to work. But many it can be as little as a few weeks to up to 6 weeks and that is still different for each of us. But see how you're doing in another week and talk to your doctor you do not want to push it and mess up what they have already done by rushing yourself. So any dought's give your doctor a call and talk with the Nurse or doctor. You sure don't want to cause any damage to all you have gone through. good luck.
