I had surgery on both hands as I'm sure you know from other posts and have been told I will need another surgery. That was before I got laid off in July. I am now 100% pain free except for the days I cut down trees and limbs by hand myself (there are 3 people on this board that saw before and after pictures and know my size so they can confirm this was not a easy task) or over use them on the computer which is not set up as suggested and I haven't used flextend. And that could simply be from not being used to doing anything anymore, the same as when we all start a new job we go through a period where certain muscles hurt. One of the very things I have said about surgery especially mine was I was sent back to work way to soon. Nobody is 100% pain free the rest of their lives unless you never ever over do something. I'm sure there are thousands of people that have surgery every year some with a certain level of success and some with none at all. We have not heard from all those that have had surgery and those that have had success are out enjoying other things in life as you may have noticed I do not post on here as I used to.
