good luck

thank you armstrong for replying to my post. it seems like no one else cared about replying. so i had my information deleted. it just feels like i am being ignored. people on here say they want to know when i have my surgery and how it went, then they just ignore me when i post it. so i wont post anything else about it. but thank you for caring.

Jmar you can always leave me a pm I try to check in at least once a week,I know it's important to be able to share what we're going through and know that someone is listening.Keep your head up.

hi armstrong. i got my splint off partly today. i dont have to wear it at night or around the house. but i have to wear it when i go out anywhere to protect it from being bumped. i was surprised how well i could move my wrist. but my fingers need a LOT of work to get my function back. i am so angry at that stupid dr that caused all this. then refused to do anything about it. grrrrrr

That's great Jmar I hope you continue to make progress,yeah it's important to keep those fingers as loose as you can,I'm still waiting to see some results from my surgery back in march but so far no measurable change...yet..just trying to remain optomistic.Keep doing whatever exercises you can to gain back your strength and movement,even if it's just a little each day.

i feel like i went back a few steps. i am now where i was last summer. but i worked at it and i can do it again. i think now, though, my fingers are just stiff from being immobile for so long. i hope you continue to get more function back. good luck.

I'm happy for you,Joyce,Jmar, that you got your splint off. You will et your fingers warm and limber again. FYI, a Hand therapist told me I should be wearing a splint on my LOBPI hand at night but so far I can't afford it at $79. No one pays for splints these days.

its good that you got your splint off! woohoo! another step towards better function... i hope your fingers loosen up too... have you tried a stress ball?
