10 months After CT Surgery

Hello,

Well I finally get to see a Hand Specialist this week.

My surgeon approved it and referred me to a Hand Specialist that a couple of my friends have gone to see. They have had a lot of postive things to say about him and what I can see he is very good at what he knows.

If this doctor give me the excuses that my surgeon does then I will just Quit pursuing all this. I am Too Tired and Frustrated and Stressed to continue this Tug-o-War with the Company's Disablity Insurance People, etc.

My symptoms 10 months later after A Release Surgery in Both Hands.

Wrists hurt all the time, Palm (Pillar pain), Grip strength is still bad.
When I drive or do other menial tasks (Wash dishes, vacum, etc) my Hands go
from bad to Worse after an Hour.
I still get the tingling and numbness in my fingers except for the Pinky.
Numerous times when I grab something or just Drive I'll have a stabbing pain
from my wrist to forearm feels like a nerve get's pinched or something. Very
Uncomfortable. If I bend my wrist I get pain, this is all the time.

Anyway the Surgeon and my Case Worker tell me that it's NOT Carpal Tunnel
but rather "probably" diabetes or overweight, or neuropathy.... but not CTS.
The Neurologist did a Nerve Conduction Study and EMG and he concluded it was still BiLateral CTS even after Surgery. Another DR. thinks it's Nerve Damage, and the Neurosurgeon DR. thinks I need the Surgery Redone.

My surgeon and the case mgr say it's not CTS , just live with the Pain.

Any thoughts or words of wisdom, suggestion, hope....would be appreciated.

I'm so tired of having this problem. I hope and pray that the Hand Specialist will give me a ConClusive Diagnosis...instead of all this other
"I think it's this" type of medicine. Even if it's Bad News I will at least know something Definitive.

Thanks for the listening to my Ramblings.
Rick
