Carpal Tunnel surgery in the morning...

[turd]

Not looking forward to it, but will be relieved when the pain is gone. The electric stimuli indicated I should/could do both, but I'm not gonna do them at the same time, so they are doing the steroid injection in the other. It is spring - so much to do- I hope the recovery is fast, and I need at least one hand to mow. etc.

Such a deal.

The easiest and most successful osteo surgeries I ever had. Good luck.

I had it in both wrists while working freighters in Alaska and loading frozen product. Was going to have surgery on one then the other after first healed. After being off for a couple months the left side just got better on its own so never had surgery on it. This was about 27 years ago.

I had surgery on one, injection on the other. Surgery was uncomfortable and the bulky bandage a hassle but it turned out well. The other is better but not as good.

I will need surgery on the one that was injected but for now it's okay.

I had it years ago on my right hand. My hand felt so much better, I rode my motorcycle on the day I had the surgery (afterward). Recovery is basically nothing.
I should've had it done on both, but medical advice at the time was not to unless you wanted to find out how much your wife really loves you. Hah.

Good luck. I hope it's a fast recovery for you.

I had both hands done (not at the same time) in late 2008 and early 2009. These are the only surgeries I've had that came out as advertised. First one was EXTREMELY painful as the big needle was inserted first and then numbing administered. Second one, a mild sedative was administered by IV and hardly felt the needle in the wrist.
My 'post surgery rehab' consisted entirely of sizing and loading .223 ammo. Worked out pretty darned good.

Make sure to take along your laptop. We would miss your sense of humor if you are offline for too long.
And listen to your Doc. I have seen a few folks have a hard time with recovery doing too much too soon.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. My wife had it done on both hands- two months apart. She is very happy with the new, improved wrists.

Wishing you the best tomorrow.

I had mine done a year apart in '91/'92. They ached a little, but I didn't even need the pain meds.

Don't worry about a thing, and good luck!

 

[Threespears]

No problem, I had both of mine done at the same time.
My only problem is that I found out how few friends I really have.(I was needing help in the bathroom )doing some paperwork

 

[sfhogman]

Wishing the best for you...

 

[contender]

Good luck for a smooth surgery & recovery!

 

[Mobuck]

There are a couple of really good reasons NOT to have both done at the same time.
As far as work went, I took a week off for the surgery and limited duty for 3 weeks since I could do all/most of my work with either hand.

 

[Heliman]

I am on the waiting list. Maybe in another month or so……

 

[Sagebrush Burns]

Hope your's goes as good as mine did.
