: : : : : I had an open release too. Yours looks like my dad's scars do from when he had his done. Glad your swelling has been minimal. I still have some swelling, and other issues.

: : : : dmm, carpal tunnel is nothing compared to what your going through. dmm are you the one with bells palsy? if so my ubderstanding of bells is way off. girlfriend, know that many of us are praying for you. the rash looks so painfull. know that were thinking of you and wish you the best in recovery. melani

: : : You've got me mistaken. I'm the one who waited too long to have the ctr done, and still have issues because of it.

: : I forgot to add that the other pictures show my face as it usually is, that's no rash, it's rosacea and telangiectasia (spider veins) combined, and the other 2 show what I looked like right after laser treatment, and the next day, then 4 days after treatment. I look even better today, and in another week I should look much better.

: i had skimmed over the post and decided i had the wrong person. doesn't take me much to get confused. i'm relieved to know that your your winning the battle over rosacea. doctor told me yesterday, the best thing in healing from surgery is to work our hands. healing from ct surgery can take a long while.patience and exercises are the key words. dmm can you make a fist? bend wrist, up and down easily? if your doing that, your making progress. sorry for the confusion. melani

Making progress at a snails pace. I can make a fist, but tightening it causes pain in the wrist, along with a pop that my therapist identifies as trigger finger in the middle finger. I can bend the wrist, but the ROM isn't what it ought to be. My active flexion is about 50% of what my left wrist will do. My dexterity kinda bites some too. I have another follow up with my os next week.
