I have had a year of minor, brush off symptoms, but things got so much worse a week ago. The tingling is always there. I am in pain everyday. I wanted to scream putting on my seat belt. I can't do my hobbies.

I started on conservative treatment a day after things got bad, but they've only gotten worse. It feels like being stabbed with needles if i use my hand now. I knew the nerve was unstable but last night i had a full snap. That was awful. ​I am booked for a week and a half out. Am I making a choice I am likely to regret? Should I have tried conservative longer? Do you wish you'd waited or not waited?
