OK, its been a week and a half since the surgery. I dont things could be better! I'm very excited about riding the bike now without my hands goind numb. Also get to play the drums and guitar without fighting the numbness. My hand has been in a soft type cast for since last Monday. I was on pain medication for 2 or 3 days at the most, the pain was never that bad, just uncomfortable. I noticed inprovement right away, no numbness. Today the cast came off as well as the stitches. There was about a 1 1/2 inch incision where the doctor did his magic. On Monday I am free to go back to work with no heavy lifting. Here is a pic of the incision for all you pic hounds! I know my experience is limited right now, but the procedure has been and will be worth the time a thousand times over. If you are having problems with carpal tunnel or numbness, dont let this surgury scare you. Get it treated! Just typing this two weeks ago I would have had to stop for numbness a few times. Not this time! Ill let you know how it goes when I get back on the bike, that will be the true test!
