: : : Well, tomorrow will be 2 wks post op and I am going to try going back to work...the stitches come out on Wed...I'm anxious to see what the Dr. says...I've not seen him or PT since the surgery, but have been doing the stretches faithfully. I am still pretty limited, but it is improving daily.

: : glad to hear you're getting back to normal. I'm still having flexor tendon problems and poor hand strength. Still in rehab.

: How long has it been for you?
: Martha

It'll be 7 weeks thursday. Note that I was having problems hanging onto stuff before surgery, along with having had symptoms change from intermittent numbness to constant pain, then pain with hand use. I have had 4 rehab sessions to date, and more to come. I'm dealing with the complications of waiting too long, I believe, and the operative report seemes to corroberate that theory. I posted a link to a picture of what my hand looked like about 5 days postop, if you go look under the thread about melani's picture.
