Wrist/hand pain

When they fixed mine back in the eighties they layed open a 5 inch cut in the palm of my hand.
Now the surgery is a little small cut and they go in and make a little snip.
Very easy surgery with a very quick recovery time.
You will wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.

 

Push on the trailer when you get out and remind yourself to move your hands around Abit while driving.

I had a bad habit of that with my feet forever using cruise control all the time. I'd try to get up and my ###### ankle would be locked up or something.

Hell get one of those little finger exercisers they sell at guitar shops and use that going down the road or roll a little dumbbell from your fingertips into a curl and twist your wrists around if you have to.

 

Internationals are crappy trucks to drive.

Hard ### seats in them towstars. Wheel sucks to.

 

What's the recovery time after surgery for carpal tunnel for a driver ?

 

I’ve never had it done but my cousin and another friend have and it only took about a week for them. My friend had two weeks worth a vacation to burn anyway so it was a good time for him. I remember my cousin saying the doc told him worst case a month. But I think they do that for cya. My cousin was bored with sitting and was back in his truck after the 3rd day as a swamper with his daughter driving it for him for a few days until the soreness was gone and he felt like he wouldn’t re injure it.

 

It depends on the severity. I was out for a week and then on limited duty...no lifting, grabbing, or carrying anything over five pounds, for a month. If you try to cheat on this you run the risk of re-injuring yourself and having to start all over again. Usually on a self re-injury where the patient is at fault your insurance company will deny the claim.
They did the elbow and the hand on the same side as one operation. I had both sides done and the time between operations was two months.
I'll repeat myself from my other post...get the operation and don't delay. The improvement is worth the trouble.

 

Yes it did. Good thing, too. It was spendy.

 

Wrist pain huh? Maybe stop doing the nasty sooooo much lol your truck must really such I’ve never heard that before lol you probably have arteritis see a doc
