I had surgery years ago on both my wrists one at a time and it was great. When I was in the hospital (one day surgery) they elevated my hand and it scared me because I could not elevate my hand without it going to sleep. It did not go to sleep - It felt wonderful. I also have had trigger finger surgery on all fingers except my little fingers. My fingers actually locked down and they had to put them in braces and then do surgery. The only thing I really have a problem with now is holding a sewing needle. Everything I do by machine. I am 64 years old.
