Hi dere,  acc to me its all about your wish,  surgery is recommended only if you have severe symptoms,  if u can maintain ur day to day activities and you wish to change your life style,  u might not require surgery.
Next Steps
you always have an option to consult hand and upper limb specialist once more.
Health Tips
prevent stress to dat area,  I mean ur wrist area.
