Carpel Tunnel Surgery

Recommended Posts

Has anyone had this done and if so, what was your experience? Recovery time, etc. I’m scheduled to have it done in a couple of weeks and after going down the Reddit rabbit hole, I’m getting kinda nervous.

Incredibly painful and took about a year to fully recovery. Still hurts when it’s cold out. Good luck!

Yikes, not the answer I was hoping for. I was told worst case, 8 weeks recovery. I also elected to do it under local anesthesia so I’ll be awake. :shocking:

Are you kidding me??? I lost the first digit of two fingers in a garbage disposal and passed a kidney stone the size of a piece of broken glass and I’d do both again in the same day than have carpal tunnel surgery again. :shocking:

I would very much like to hear the garbage disposal story.

It is a tip to not put your hand in a running garbage disposal.

I’ve got the Chief of Hand Surgery from UCLA doing it. He prefers to do it under local so I just went with that. :dunno: Please tell me you’re trolling me for fun…

I don’t think he should be under any anesthesia. :dunno:

 I grew up with a bunch of drummers who are still playing gigs. A few are not because of CTS.  Go to a drummer message board. Yamah drums is a good place to go. The two I knew who had surgery will never play professionally again.

Not. Nice.

I’m not expecting it to feel great, but worse than a kidney stone? I have a hard time believing that would be his preferred option. I guess he could be a sadist.

A buddy of mine, a gited piano player, had double CTS and wound up with a MRSA infection and lost not only both his hands but both his arms to stop the aggressive infection. 

Sad.

It’s done! No pain, just an incredibly annoying dead tingly hand for now. Everything went fine. You may now go back to your regularly scheduled programming.

 Maybe you should have gone down the wabbit hole instead of this…

😆 The old lady mdcack proves she's old and fat with the "ouch, my hand hurts me from typing my boss' emails all day." 

Then she realizes she let too much be known and tries to play it off as a joke.

Oh this is glorious. :banana:
