Time to get this body fixed

[iwing]

Well, my right arm anyway. Sept 9 I'm getting a 3 for 1 surgery. Carpal tunnel, trigger finger, and ulnar nerve. So tired of a numb tingling arm, and a finger that feels broken. The carpal tunnel is the least of the pain. It will be nice to sleep again too.

Good luck, maybe you could join Ken for ther o pee, ok maybe on Skype.  Pain is every day here, one form or another, sort of a pick a place thing

[Whiz-Kid]

Good on you Greg, it's about time to get it done. It seems you picked a good time to do it since riding season is about over.

Recovery from this surgery is fast, within 2 weeks you can ride and smile.

Yep that’s what the doc said too. Sounds good to me. 

[Cherryman]

Yep, the carpal tunnel is a piece of cake.    I don't know about the other stuff.    Thank God for cruise on the Wing because a couple of years ago my right hand would go numb very easily.

Wishing you a speedy recovery

It went pretty well. Got home about 11:30 Monday and my right arm was completely numb until right before bed Tuesday. This morning I have full movement and mild pain. Not bad at all.
The palm scar is for carpal tunnel, the hand under pinky for trigger finger, and the elbow for the Ulnar nerve.

Neat!  Three new zippers!  Now behave and heal fast.  I forgot about my trigger finger surgery and tried to clap a mosquito out of the air.  I remembered very quickly about it.

[iwing]

Lol yes I’ve made some mistakes already. I’m not good at sitting still.

[LadyWingr]

Looks very tidy. Looking forward to speedy healing and hearing about new adventures and projects afterward.

at least a Doctor cut you open and sewed you up.  I cut my self open 6 yrs ago with my dads old Grinder..   and Doc sewed  me up.kinda.  made a mess ,but I made the mess with the grinder.. still don't have full use of right hand. one reason don't ride much anymore. maybe if get 1800 wing trike  with cruise. I might ..not now.

I think we all fit in that category!!

Googled "ulnar nerve", since I have had tingling in the arm & hand.
Found this:
https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseases--conditions/ulnar-nerve-entrapment-at-the-elbow-cubital-tunnel-syndrome/

And I read this, "If you use a computer frequently, make sure that your chair is not too low. Do not rest your elbow on the armrest." as my elbow was resting on the armrest . . . .
However, I don't have enough symptoms, so it's back to Golfer's Elbow for my maladies.

There’s a very simple test they do called an EMG. It’s fun. You get tased in the arm multiple times to test your nerve and muscle response.

Umm, just... No.

In this video they cut out a lot of zap time. You'll see his reaction in his hand. Once they crank it up good you'll be jumping out of the chair. 
I didn't have to wear a gown or lay in a bed for this test. Just sat in a chair.

We had just started getting stun guns when I retired, tasers weren't even in the pipeline. One of our more "macho" guys volunteered to be a test subject. Still don't know how he concealed his tears when it knocked him across the driveway.

[Hick]

Q. "How do I prepare for this procedure?"

A. If you have a buddy on the Police force, have him tase you!

EMG

I've had two.... that's enough.

Both caused additional pain when they did the carpal tunnel surgery.

[ChiefBob]

I had one done back in 91 and I felt like Frankenstein's monster. Mine turned out to be a ruptured disc in the cervical spine. I swore I'd never do it again but I may have to.

[iwing]

I’m very pleased with the results. No more locking finger, wrist pain, and a numbing arm. 

[nuferdog]

Hick. that nerve is the surgery my daughter just had done. They moved the nerve to the front side of the elbow and pit it under the muscle. She is recovery, but still will have some pain for 2 to 3 months.
