I had local anesthesthetic and tourniquet. I watched the whole procedure and a de quevain release on the carpal. They were brilliant. It took about 6 weeks to get the strength back

@louisegoldsmith1038 it was weird because the surgeon pricked the arm with the syringe needle in a few places and I saw blood but zero pain. I can't remember if I needed to move the fingers The procedure involved cutting open the protective tube around the tendon and just scraping the inside and sewing it back up. That's it. De quevain release

@louisegoldsmith1038 at the end of a hard day working just hold your hands in front of your self and open and shut your fingers as fast as you can for as long as you can till you feel pins and needles and that ensures that you get a good blood supply. I still do it. I used to be a landscape gardener. I originally forced an ulna deviation by picking up a sheep above myself on the farm.

@anapedroza1740 what I do is open and close my hand as quickly as possible without putting any strain on the wrist and it's good for blood circulation and I've been doing it for 25 years

@louisegoldsmith1038 https://youtu.be/RPPynbZjC7Q Similar to mine. I remember saying that i felt queasy and the surgeon said no problem and injected some sugar into the intra venous drip and I immediately felt good
