Hi, You don't mention any other health problems, but general anesthesia is possible at your age depending on any other conditions you have. Alternatively, many operations for treating carpal tunnel syn Chat Doctor.  I would suggest you find a surgeon who is willing to do this under local anesthesia and discuss the risks involved. It is a relatively minor operation that could significantly improve your pain. I hope this advice has been of help to you.
