Carpal Tunnel Operation Recovery

Thank you for the tips. I planned to be on light duties for three weeks anyway. So I'll I think I'll extend that for about 5 weeks of light duties but increasing. It is strange because certain for actions with the hand it seems like nothing has been done to it, but suddenly you find for a particular position or angle there is simply no strength there at all.

 

Thank you again.

Ah, yes. I Just got that that one :-)

Update - When the stitches came out the wound had not closed properly. Nurse says I must have pulled them. So I now have to rely on what nurse called secondary healing to close the gap :-( I am still having to be very careful to help it close it and prevent infection. I think this means the scar will be more prominent as well.

Further update.

 

Week five since operation Tried a hedging and shrub pruning job but only managed to use the operated on hand for a few hours before it felt like something was not right inside the healed wound. Had to finish the clearing up with one left hand :-(
