Carpal tunnel release: home essentials

Light ADLs yes. Forceful grip and heavy lifting wait.

Home essentials

  • Soft dressing or splint if provided
  • Ice over a cloth for palm discomfort
  • Extra pillows to elevate the hand at night
  • Loose gloves only if advised. Avoid tight compression on the incision

Before surgery

  • Plan light meal prep; avoid heavy pans week one
  • Set up voice-to-text if you type all day
  • Ask when you may get the incision wet
  • Clarify return-to-work for repetitive hand jobs

Remember

  • Worsening numbness with new weakness, or wound drainage: call
  • Do not do push-ups, heavy gripping, or yard work early
