Good luck. My dad is contemplating CT surgery too, but he's trying to put it off. I say, get it done and sleep better at night.

Anyhow, hope you heal up fast and get back to launching arrows.

You know they can do that with out cutting... Ortheoscopic (sp) is the new way to do it and healing time is way less.

[eric-thor]

mystico .yes ive herd that. though ive also herd that sometimes theres complications and they have to cut to fix it anyway. besides my swelling is soo bad and ive put it off soo long thats not recomended buy my surgion.  thanks for the input sal sincerly.

Just curious if you tried physical therapy and if it helped at all? Ive seen several patients have great success with it, and others not so much. Im going to school to be one,

I've had it done on both hands and was back to work as an automotive mechanic in 3 days. First time I banged a hubcap on with my bare hand I knew better than to do that again. You'll be fine for the shoot. What some people don't understand is that putting it off can result in permanent damage and inability to use your hands for the rest of your life.Frank

[lt-m-grow]

Been there done that.   Don't worry.  You will be shooting in no time.  You may have some pain, but my doc said the pain isn't doing damage, it is only healing.

Also it was one of the best decisions I made.   I laid awake many nites before I did this, it wasn't worth it.
