As such, there is nothing for us to base the poem on, no independent account that will tell us whether or not we can see a given text as being objectively true. Poem as trace, poem as evidence. From Carolyn ForchÃ©, Twentieth Century Poetry of Witness, American Poetry Review 22:2 (March-April 1993), 17. Carolyn ForchÃ© The word politics presents more serious difficulties, particularly in the literary culture of the United States, where the word is most often applied pejoratively, and where politics is regarded as a contaminant of serious literary work.
Surgery for this problem is quite simple: we release (cut) the transverse carpal ligament. By doing so, this creates more space for the median nerve and symptoms usually subside. The ligament may grow back, but if so, it grows back in a looser, thinner version of its old self that does not cause similar irritation.
A lot of people believe that because they have insurance it would be a good idea to go ahead and have Carpal Tunnel Surgery, thinking that the surgery represents a permanent fix. Well, first of all, this procedure is not a permanent fix for CTS. It comes back for 85% of people within 6 months to 7 years.
