Hi Linda,

I had mini-open surgery Oct. 28. I have pain and burning in my hand, mostly on top of the hand and also pain in my arm. typing causes pain at the site where the ligament was cut, and in my wrist.

My work is at home so I didn't have to go back to a job, nor would I have been ready to at 6 weeks and not even now. I do light housekeeping with no problem. I'm kinda used to the pain so it doesn't wake me up as much at night.

I'm working on massaging trigger points, mostly in my neck, that can cause the CTS symptoms.

Please read my posts of yesterday under--
Compression at Spine/Neck

Thanks to Evelyn for the encouraging words!!
