anyone had this opp done? how long before you could ride again
Assuming you've already had the injection method?
My boss had this done and was "like new" almost over night.
had jabs twice over last 6 months and they not worked long term
I had release surgery on both hands together a few years ago. Approx 10-14 days and I was back on a motorbike. Can't comment on the wisdom of getting back on the trails as quick. Don't bugger up your recovery by rushing back out though.
Good luck.
What do they do exactly?
Inch or so incision into the palm of your hand to cut the ligament that sits over the tendons/nerves running into the hand. Releases pressure on the nerve that causes all the pain and numbness you get from CTS.
cut the ligaments in the wrist to releave pressure on the nerves.
sounds fun
How does that effect you when you grip stuff?
hand goes numb,pins & needles and it feels like you wearing thick gloves
sounds fun
Aye....try wiping your ass with both hands bandaged up like a couple of boxing gloves. 😯
How does that effect you when you grip stuff?
For me, a complete loss of feeling in my fingers if my wrists were left in a static position for any length of time. Driving, sleeping, writing, riding a bike.
Sorry. I mean having the ligaments cut.
But I suppose it's the best of a bad job and gives you a huge improvement or they wouldn't do it.
No residual problems Zulu. 100% fix for me. Never had another problem.
Interesting replies here.
I've had the tests and I'm waiting for the results.
I reckon I could be having the op soon.
