    UPDATE FROM 6 WEEKS AFTER SURGERY

    I realize today is 8 weeks, but I've been having difficulties getting on this site, so the photos are from 6 weeks after surgery. I'm still going to hand therapy twice a week. My ring finger is 10% and that's about as good as it can get due to arthritis in my knuckle. My pinkie is 27%, but should be able to go to 20%, again the limitation is the knuckle. I wear the splint for my pinkie at night and as often as possible during the day. I also wear silicone patches on my pinkie and palm.

    My hand was very sensitive about 4 weeks ago. It is still sensitive, but much better.

    For those of you who have had the surgery, how long did you go for hand therapy?

    Thanks.

    I’m still going to hand therapy 2 times a week and wearing hand splint. I’ll see the doctor later this week for a follow up visit. Hand does not lie flat, but it’s functional. I’m playing Pickleball and table tennis several times a week. Sensivity in hand is almost normal. Still have some scar tissue in little finger that I’m working on with a small tip massager and using ultrasound at therapists office.
