Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Good Luck with your surgery. I will be having this same operation later this year so I will be interested in your progress. I was told this operation will be done in day surgery. A couple of weeks ago the tendons on all my right hand fingers ruptured which is the main reason I want the surgery. My hands have been like this for 10 years and up until now I have been able to come up with alternative ways to do everything I did before, just with two hands. Now, with the ruptured tendons, my hand is almost useless. I am typing using my thumbs and fourth finger of my left hand lol.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 I had a weird thing happen to me last week -- I was eating lunch with my sister at a local resturant and I simply picked my arm up to get a drink of water and all of a sudden I had an extremely sharp pain and like popping in my forearm just below my elbow -- my Dr. is out of town so waiting on him to check it out -- It hurt really intense that day and my hand swelled -- now it is bad to normal pain and normal swelling in my hand -- elbow hurts like crazy and moving my wrist around sends like needle type pain to foreman and tingling -- has this happened to anyone esle?? I have lots of trouble with tendon in my elbow? Curious if there is a connection or if it is just another pain to deal with?
