Doc said it was the worst he had seen, I have an incision that is 2 1/2 inches long because he had scar tissue to deal with from the first carpal tunnel surgery. He also cleaned out some crud from the base thumb joint, he thinks I broke off a bone spur and had been grinding it up in the joint for 7 months. Might need more surgery on the thumb down the road to fix it. All from the car accident in Nov. Had no wrist problems until I bent the shift lever with my hand... can't wait to get the wrap off tomorrow and change the bandage to something more comfortable. I can already tell the difference though, 2 middle fingers aren't as numb. As the swelling from surgery goes down that will improve more.
