Hello @joli48, Welcome to Connect. Good to hear that the Lyrica is helping with your hand pain. It sounds like you are still fairly early in your recovery from the hand surgery so hopefully thing will get back to normal for you soon. Did the hand doctor give you any follow up therapy or exercises to help the hand and fingers get back to normal?

@johnbishop Hi n thank u! I'm glad I found this website for support 🙌 so I go on May 19th to my follow up with the surgeon to hopefully get the stiches out n God willing everything is healing properly but I will definitely keep u posted on any exercises they recommend. I already started some small up n down wrist exercises but very slowly..also omega 3 fish oil helps with the healing process...well that's what my dad says lol but i looked it up n it says it will help with swelling..scar tissue etc. I also see pain management dr. tomorrow so let's see if they give me any exercises too!

@johnbishop hi,
No, the doc did not give me anything after the surgery. Except he wants me to have EMG’s of both arms and hands because they are both cold, when the rest of my body is not. The cold is painful like there is no curculation. The nerves are obviously pinched somewhere. I’ve had two ulnar nerve transpositions on one arm, ( no surgery on the other arm at all .)
