: Hi, I wrote earlier when I first had surgery. I wrote about having my incision horizontally accross my wrist instead of down through my palm. I just wanted everyone to know that I was four weeks yesterday and my hand is wonderful. I have no pain through my fingers and hand. A little numbness through my palm, at the heel of my hand. My incision is totally healed, and there isn't much to it anymore. I don't know if this is typical or not. I feel as if I have had a miracle happen to me. Compared to how badly my hand was before, this is like getting a brand new one.

Just take it easy and don't over do stuff. That feeling of it having worked and it doesn't hurt anymore sometimes leads some people to start over doing it and then you're right back to where you were. Follow DRs advice carefully. Best of luck to you.
