6 weeks post op

Yesterday marked 6 weeks since my decompression surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome. 


I'm still experiencing sharp, deep pains in my wrist and thumb. I'm half way to 12 weeks where this pillar pain will hopefully resolve itself. My second surgery is 3 weeks and 6 days away. This time in 4 weeks hopefully all will have gone well and I'll be at home chilling with a massive bandage on. In reality I'll be in absolute agony but it will be done. 

I'm in a lot of pain now. Every day. Carpal tunnel syndrome in my left hand and recovering from surgery and pillar pain in my right hand. I can't wait for the day when I'm going to bed at night and realise that my hands have been pain free all day. In some ways I'm tolerating chronic pain but in other ways I could so easily be pulled down by it all.
