carpal tunnel part will be a breeze, recovery is easy. But the surgeon is also moving the ulnar nerve so it's behind a muscle to keep it from rubbing a bone in my elbow. That's been a bigger issue and though not a terrible recovery, will keep my arm wrapped at a right angle for 3 to 4 weeks.
anyone been through this and able to offer some tips about getting dressed and stuff?
Thanks
I had carpel tunnel repair surgery, best thing ever! Most of my hand would go numb and hurt like heck the rest of the time, I waited until I had some germinate nerve damage being stoic.
After the operation I took one ibuptofin. no other pain pills. Then I followed the Doc's orders about not lifting things. My palm was sensitive to pressure for abut 6 months but 90% of that is gone now. Best of all, I'm back to shooting heavy recoil rounds including a 7mm-08 pistol.
Prayers for a great result and a quick recovery.
