Am not an artist but I can thread a needle etc since surgery I have no pain to date. I did have pre pt to strengthen and had pt after because I had to desensitize my hyper active nerves
I was not allowed to use hand for 2 weeks post op. My
surgeon said most of his patients don’t even need pt post op. I did, I believe because of my reverse total shoulder on same arm. Surgery for me was worth it, feels like a normal thumb. It was a long recovery for me but worth it
