Tn Tombstone 438 Posted May 15 Good luck Ringer, just be careful, I had a friend that went into the hospital with a stomach ache and they sent her home with a baby. Just saying...check you bags before you leave. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just saying...check you bags before you leave. Now that would be funny. Ringer goes in for Carpal Tunnel and comes out with a baby. @Ringer when you can let us know how it went.

Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator 561 Posted May 15 Good luck Ringer. I had one hand done a few years before other and both done by orthopedic surgeons. I believe I saw a neurologist for tests first in both cases but surgery done by OS. Before I got the second hand done my original surgeon moved so I found another. The second I still use for other orthopedic issues. In fact, some time after I started going to him I began dating Sassy, his mother-in-law. Guess one could say he is now my son-in-law and he has not kicked me off his patient list yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baltimore Ed 55 Posted May 17 (edited) Worked with a guy who was fighting it, a very rough disabling condition. He was afraid to get the surgery so he was dealing with it. While I’ve used my hands for a lot of heavy work I don’t have carpel tunnel but I do think I have developed CMC thumb on both hands. That hurts too. Looking at getting a couple of thumb braces to experiment with when we get back shooting again. I’ve said before, getting old is not for wussies. Stay safe all.

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 5,198 Posted May 17 I think I had CMC thumb. I say I think because she (the hand surgeon) called it basal joint arthritis. I had surgery and it hasn't given me any problems since. The rest of that hand is problematic. She removed the joint and replaced it with a tendon that was grafted from my arm. I wore a brace while it was healing and did PT. Ed, you might look into that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ringer 146 Posted May 18 Bandage came off this morning. Looks good, 3 stiches. Looks like 4lb. fishing line. Now comes the hard part, letting it heal and not pushing the recovery too quickly. Ready to get the other one done. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
