: I have not been able to read every page of this board due to it beening so many, and my hand borthers me so. But on the whole, are most of the people who have had the ct. surgery doing good or better afterwards? I have read some who have had the surgery, and not doing so good, some worse! Am having surgery next week, and am very anxious. {Really don't have much choice about surgery, as my hand problem is due to an accident.} Just getting the jitters as surgery date is getting closer! My hand feels like it is dying! It just HAS to get better.

Hi Fran,
Scoll down and read my recovery that I just posted, that will give you my history. As far as my decision for surgery, I was up and in pain everynight, I was having trouble getting through the day at work because of the "toothace" like pain I had in my wrist. Since the surgery I still get it once in a while for extremely short periods, like a couple of minutes. The doctor told me before the surgery that it may take a year for that to go away or it may never because of nerve damage. But I will take that a few times a week, for a couple of minutes each time over all night and most of the day every day!
So to sum up I consider my self a surgical sucess, i'm still here because of clumsiness and stupidity (read below), well....and I want to help people. :>)
keep us posted!!!!
