Well it has been 1 week since my 3rd surgery and I am extremely pleased with results so far. I know it will never be like it was, but compared to 2 years ago, it is great!. I really think fusing my thumb in 30% flexion will allow me to have some pinch capabilities. I am not allowed to straighten my fingers for at least another month, but just the bending at the knuckles seems to be better also. The BPI group, we are strong, small things make us happy. Just wanted to share good news. Hope everyone is doing great.

Well Kathy.......it's always good to hear good news !! So glad your surgeries were successful, and that you're pleased with the results. Hey.......a pinch don't sound like much, but wait until you don't have it anymore, huh. Keep rockin'..........

Hi, I've had only one surgery. They performed 9 tendon tranfers and fused my thumb as well, also for pinching. What did they do for your other surgeries, do you have complete muscle loss in your hand??
