OldMaid 2,129 Posted November 20, 2023 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDC 7,149 Posted November 20, 2023 Incredibly painful and took about a year to fully recovery. Still hurts when it’s cold out. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

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.

BunnysBastatrds 2,319 Posted November 21, 2023 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
