: I had cts on 28th of Jan. The sharp pain is gone but I have not much strength yet esp. my thumb. I wake up at night still with numbness and my hand swells every few days or so. Not using it much just bathing.Will this get better with time? The doc. said that I had alot of scar tissue and the surgery took an hour to do. I was awake the whole time.He gave me a 50-50 chance. I am very upset that I cannot do simple things yet like hold a glass unless I mone my thumb and place around the glass. Any advise??

are you doing exercises like flexor tendon gliding and range of motion and strengthening exercises? if u don't have any you can go to my web page www.geocities.com/heartland/park/6825 and copy mine.
