Your hand rots off.

the worst that will happen is ur wrist hurts. Nothing worse will happen as far as i know

i think i had that, and it went away on its own.
with time and rest.

The worst possible outcome...Eventually you won't be able to lift anything...even something like a pencil. And it'll hurt to move any fingers.

That's because the tendons that run through the wrist will swell and won't be able to function anymore.

i lost alot of my movemnet , strength, and feeling in my hand. The inflation had traveld up my arm to my elbo and then on to my sholder. i was in SO much pain i told the doc that, eather surgery or i was going to cut my own hand off.

I could not hold anythin or use my hand. this was bad. NOw i had the surgery and the pain is gone. but I will never forget how bad it was.

You will experience alot of pain and discomfort in your hands and fingers. The nerves will eventually deteriorate --

I have had CTS in both hands and what a relief. If it goes untreated in will be truley painful. I would wake up in the middle of the night crying it hurt so bad. You will know when you can not stand the pain anymore and then you will go get the surgery.

Your entire arm could go numb, so bad as you could not even hold onto things. Surgery should be the last option. A doctor could give you a wrist brace, try acupuncture, or go to a physical therapist who can give you hand exercises to do.

you will have to have mommy whack u off

Seriously though get a copper magnetic bracelet cured mine
