You will definitely be back on the bike by March. In my case it was the left hand, and I am right-handed, so it did not crimp my photography at all (how the hell I acquired carpal tunnel syndrome on the hand that I do NOT use with the mouse etc. is another good question). There was no mention of physical therapy, and I did not have to do anything special, just wait. However, perhaps that is because they knew that it was my "passive" hand and so the fact that I have lost some muscle strength in it was of no consequence in daily life. Had it been my right hand, they might well have suggested something.
