Had my right hand done on January 29 and my left on February 10th. The doctor had a hand fellowship. Local anesthetic on both. The surgery itself took about 15 minutes. Doctor said the ligaments in both hands were very tight and the nerve in the right hand was red and very inflamed. If you wait too long, you can have nerve damage and then the procedure is less effective. Three stitches in each hand. He said full hand strength in 12 weeks. Right now it can hurt if I put direct heavy pressure on the location of the incision, but otherwise I am fully back to speed. Been using a chainsaw and driving the tractor for the last 8 days. No numbness, tingling or pain while asleep (or at other times). PM if you want additional info.
