Had Surgery Yesterday.. Finally

Post by Aleman33 »

Hi everyone. I finally had surgery at Duke University Medical Center. They did a nerve graph and tendon transfer. I had a C7 avulsion and C5 and C6 pinched. My hand is burning more than usual. I found it weird that when I was dismissed from the hospital I was dismissed by a nurse and not by the doctor. I'm happy to had the surgery and I guess I'll wait now. Hope everyone is doing well. God bless.

Good luck Armstrong. Happy to hear that you're on you way. I bet you're excited. Nothing to be worry about, it would be over before you know it. Mine was on the 24th and my hand burns more than usual. They cut me near my collar bone and my inner biceps. No much pain in those areas, the pain and burning is on my hand. They gave me 6 to 8 moths to start seeing result. I wish you the best man. Stay up.
