: IT WILL BE 6 WKS TOMORROW SINCE I HAD MY CTR SURGERY ON MY RIGHT HAND. AND I'VE HAD ALOT OF SWELLING AROUND MY SCAR AND MY PALM AND AROUND THE SIDES OF MY HAND IS VERY TENDER AND SENITIVE. ALSO, I'VE NOTICED THAT WHEN I DO USE MY HAND FOR EVEN A PERIOD OF TIME MY FINGERS DOES GET COLD. BUT, NOT WHEN THEY ARE STABLE.. EVEN HAVE PAIN UP INTO MY ARM.. I READ YOUR MESSAGE AND ITS SOUNDS SO MUCH LIKE MINE WITH MY HAND.. WHERE DID YOU FIND THE NAME OF THIS AT???? I'M SUPPOST TO HAVE MY LEFT HAND DONE TOO. AS SOON AS I GET MY RIGHT HAND WELL ENOUGH TO DO SO.. I'M RIGHT HANDED AND ITS VERY HARD. I STILL CAN'T WRITE WITH MY HAND.. THE DR SENT ME BACK TO WORK ON MONDAY AND THEY CROSS TRAINING ME TO DO ANOTHER JOB IN THE OFFICE AND SO THERE WAS ALOT OF WRITING TAKING NOTES MON & TUES. BY TUES. MID DAY. I COULDN'T HARDLY MOVE MY HAND OR ARM.. THROBBING AND SWELLED AND MY THUMB STARTED TWITCHING.. SO I WENT AND SEEN MY DR.. AND HE GAVE ME THE REST OF THE WEEK OFF TO REST MY HAND. SO I'M IN THE WAIT AND SEE MODE NOW.. I'M NEEDING TO GET MY HAND BACK TO NORMAL SO I CAN GET ON WITH THE OTHER HAND AND RETURN TO A NORMAL LIFE .. IF THERE IS ONE AFTER THIS....... I HOPE.... ANY SUGGESTIONS YOU CAN GIVE ME WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED..
