: : : It worked. is that the only hole? I have a 1-1/2 inch incision, compared to melani's 4inch+ incision. i posted my pic under melani's topic.

: : ::dmm-Yes, I only had one incision in each wrist, they were only about an inch long. The doc said there is about a 6 inch cut in each hand underneath the skin-which cannot be seen from the outside. He said there is alot of trauma there, but cannot be seen. The pic posted was 12 days after surgery. My hands both look really good now. I can tell an improvement everyday. I saw your pic under melanie's topic. When did you have yours done?

: 7 weeks ago thursday. I go to my 5th rehab visit tomorrow. I've got flexor tendonitis problems along with what my therapist calls pillar pain, and I call it the heel of my hand hurts with pressure.

::dmm- You poor girl, carpal tunnel is bad enough. I have a friend who had ct surgery on both hands and also has arthritis in both hands. You just take care of yourself.
