Hi had stitches removed Saturday after 10 days and wound mostly healed 75%. Nurse put a dressing on and told me to have it checked again in 10days. Very frustrating as I'm not diabetic, smoker, anything that could affect wound heal etc so healthy person. Since then wound v painful although bit looks normal. Been taking maximum codiene, parcecetomal and ibuprofen to control pain, which woke me up last night. Same level of pain as after surgery but it's 12days since then. My friend nurse said it's not normal.

    Hi, I had surgery on both hands for severe CTS. It took quite awhile for the nerves to settle down. I am almost at 4 months later and my hands are almost back to normal.
