Hand Surgery
I had massive left hand and wrist surgery about 3 years ago. Just from my own personal experience - it was quite painful. However, I had to wait to have surgery for well over a year (it was a worker's comp. case).
I had broken my pinkie finger in the middle joint, and tore all of the tendons in my hand on the outside part of my hand, chipped my wrist bone, and tore the disks in my wrist, developed a cyst on the bone, and messed up a nerve that went from my hand to my elbow. I was in a cast from my finger tips to my shoulder for 3 months, then a splint from my finger tips to my elbow for another 4 months. I went thru p.t. for 5 months, and I had Moonie perform Reiki on me. The pain meds I threw out. They were just not helping at all. I used a muscle relaxer that helped me mostly. Then I was able to stop that after a few days after surgery.
I used a well-known hand surgeon to operate on me. He had a great success rate, and was able to give me honest answers to my many questions. If I had to have hand surgery again, I would not hesitate in going back to him. In fact, I have recommended him to all of my friends & family. That is just how much trust I have in him.
I wish you luck with this. It is a hard decision to make.
