Hand operation

[efc]

Had another operation on my hand on Wednesday, second one in four months. However,this time my fingers are very cold and two of them are still feeling quite numb although I can move them all ok.

I know it's still early days yet, am I worrying over nothing?

Don't remember any numbness lasting like this last time.

Hi everton - Try ringing NHS direct - 0845 - 4647. Sorry I didn't have an answer for you, but do phone this number if you are worried at all, take care xxx

Thanks skyep, think i'll leave it till after the weekend and then ring if its no better.

I may be worrying over nothing.

My daughter wants to know how you can manage to type with a poorly hand!...

Very slowly hippyhoppy! As there's not a lot else I can do though the one finger typing beats the boredom anyday!

I had a minor op on my hand, and part of it went numb for ages - like several weeks.

Even now two years later I get an irritation of my skin on my wrist if I wear long sleeves

Hi, how is your hand now? xx

Hi skyep - still have some numbness but it's very bruised at the moment. I think I just have to give it some time. Only had the op last Wednesday so I'm sure i'm just expecting too much too soon.

Thanks for asking.
