My surgery after trigger thumb had no such complications. I was told if anything out of the ususal occured I was to contact my surgeon - unexpected locking and curling would fall into that category and the 29th is 6 days away.

Marie, that varies strongly and, of course, it also depends on what you are doing. If it is a normal office, keyboard kind of jonb, my guess woudl be 1 - 4 weeks. But if complications arise it could be longer.

To Graham: as pain and concerns are that big, would you have a chance to see your surgeon earlier? But donb't hang you expectations too high: I was also quite concerned after my surgery because I wasn't able to make a fist anymore (not even half-way) but my surgeon thougt he did a great job and everything will turn out fine. At the end he was right but my recovery took 4-6 months instead of the predicted 3 weeks. Anf my pain was not that terrible.

Wishing a quick recovery to both of you
