      Agree and only added last bit because of a medical condition I have that often causes problems with different things, epilepsy that is stress triggered. So if think bad will be, a vicious circle and one there is no need for.

      i never thought id say it but i do miss work! The operation was great i was really nervous prior because i have never had a op but the consultant and the nurses were fantastic. I wouldnt say im in pain its like someone has a tens machine attached to my hand and every now and again its like tingling but like really faint if that makes sense lol .

      Does make alot of sense, and that is a sign that nerves are healing/settling down.
