My wife had it done to both hands.....at the same time. Sucked for a while, but she was glad she did both. I, on the other hand, had to wait on her "hand" and foot. Wasn't so bad for me, but it took a good month for her to be able to somewhat get back in the groove. Had pain for several months after surgery when she put her hand down to get up. Took a while to get out of that habit.
She makes cakes as a side gig, and the constant squeezing of the bag,(I know what's next, LOL) had her hands wearing out. Steroids only mask the inflamation and dull the pain. The root cause can only be fixed by surgery.
