I’m sure what has possessed me to ask for medical advice on here but hey, here goes.
As a lot of you know I crashed in July and put a nice hole in my arm – cue nerve damage and loss of function in my hand and wrist.
A couple of months on and its not come back yet, so next on the list of things my consultant wants to do is a tendon transfer; from the underneath bit on my wrist, to my thumb so that I’ll be able to straighten it again. We’ve decided to hold off until early december (to not disrupt uni too much, and to give it a bit longer to fix on its own), but realistically I have to have made a decision by the beginning of November (yes I know, ages away!).
I’m pretty sure that I’ll go ahead with it, but still have some niggling doubts as to whether I should (yes I will discuss these with the appropriate medical professional nearer the time!), but my lack of decision means that its playing on my mind a lot.
So thought I’d consult singletrack – has anyone else on here ever had a similar procedure? what are your experiences?
Advice/thoughts/randomness from anyone with experience / doctors / someone that knows nothing but still has an opinion is welcome!
