Earlier this year I broke the scaphoid in my wrist, and during rehab developed carpal tunnel which is causing numbness in my fingers(can't feel the brake lever). I have carpal tunnel release surgery scheduled for Dec 1. I'm a little worried given the permanent nature of the surgery and if it will negatively impact performance on the bike.

For context, I'm a rider prioritizing racing and downhill speed. Can anyone speak to their experience after getting this done? Have you lost any grip strength permanently? Are you able to ride aggressively on rough trails? Any long-term pain?

Would love to hear other people's experience, thanks!
