I had 2 carpal tunnel surgeries on right hand, six months ago and one year ago. Both were unsuccessful. A surgery on left hand, 15 months ago was successful but now again same problem of tingling and pain has started. What happens if I bear the pain and don't do surgery again? Because now I am used to tingling and pain and doesn't bother me. Do I just ignore it? Will it cause more problems in future?

Carpal tunnel syndrome can be treated effectively with physiotherapy. Kindly avoid any more surgeries in future. You should treat your cervical spine (neck) as the cervical nerve root compression is the primary cause for carpal tunnel. Treatment: Intermittent cervical traction (weight 4 kgs, duration 15 minutes, wax bath and ultrasound for both wrists. This treatment has to be continued for 2 weeks. Scapular elevation-depression exercises, retraction exercises. Avoid sleeping on your arms, use foam pad support for your wrists while resting them on a hard surface. Use mouse pads during computer use. Learn median nerve self mobilization exercises from an experienced physical therapist who is an expert in manual therapy. Get well soon, good luck.
