surgery went well
Just a quick note...surgery went well. I think it took about 15-20 minutes. Didn't realize it would be so quick. I can now feel my fingers and arm again...no burning or numbness like before other than what I'm getting from the incision in my hand. Am amazed at how big of a difference I noticed immediately after the surgery. Will be back at dr.'s in 2 weeks for follow-up and to start PT.

That was for Carpal tunnel right? Congrats on winning your hearing and finally getting the surgery you needed. I have been trying for 2 yrs. now to get surgery for Recurring carpal tunnel and have been diagnosed with about 5 different things and many many treatments for RSD etc. Someday I may get the surgery I need also. I am so happy for you and that you feel good. I could not imagine being pain free.
carpal tunnel recurrence/ neuropathy / RSD.

:rolleyes:BAD BOY TOLD ME SOTongue Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement...hopefully things will start to go much smoother now. Since the claim was allowed this time and I've had the surgery on the left hand do I have to wait for the IC to approve surgery on the right hand or still use my medical insurance?
