I (36F) had carpal tunnel release surgery on my left hand 3 days ago.

It's the best thing I've ever done to improve my quality of life. 10/10 recommend. My doctor gave me an injection in my right hand, which resolved 100% of my symptoms. My left hand was much more severe, so surgery was the best option to see positive results.

I'm only three days out from surgery. I took my bandage off for the first time this morning and man, it's gnarly-looking. I'm not sure what I expected, but it wasn't that. But goodness, it is so WORTH IT!

First and foremost, I can feel my fingertips! I haven't felt my thumb, index, or middle fingertips in over three months!

There's no more tingling!

I WAKE UP PAIN FREE!!! I had to sleep with a lidocaine patch on my wrist and a splint to be able to sleep at night.

The actual procedure was fine. I opted for light sedation using Versed. The doctor called it a "strong margarita" without the hangover. I call it a regular margarita, lol. The lidocaine was, by far, the worst part. It burns so bad. I literally yelled, "FuUuUuUuCK" while I was in surgery when he did the injection, lol. He just said, "That's alright. Get it out." 😅

From leaving home to getting back home, it was a mere four hours. I only took that one day off work (I work in an office setting). The pain was manageable. I used narcotic pain relief for the first day. Otherwise, Toradol was sufficient. It's been about 24 hours since I last took anything at all.

I cannot wait to see the progress over the next few weeks. I have no idea why I waited so long to do anything about it. My fingers are alive for the first time in years and years. There are no words for how happy I am. 🙂

My husband in 2011, and 2025. He was diagnosed with acromegaly 2 years ago.

Acromegaly is caused by a benign tumor on the pituitary gland that produces excess amounts of growth hormones. The differences in your body can take years to become noticeable (bigger hands, feet, facial features, etc.) and you can really see the difference in old pictures. Other issues include joint pain, diabetes, enlarged heart, sinus issues and colon polyps.

And ps, the new picture was purely for me cracking up with his hair sticking up and he didn’t know why!
