I wonder why my surgeon opted to just take the offending bone out for me and replace it with my tendon rather than this way ? I had my left one done with no probs but my right is still giving me probs after 7 yrs.I still have pain and a lot less strength than my left which is a problem cos I'm right handed. I hope this is successful for u.

Hi - Sorry if I am not doing this right but I am trying to comment on the group discussion, not one in particular. Has anyone had nerve pain after the stablyx implant. I am two weeks out and everything seems good except for a very painful burning sensation along the outside of my thumb that the dr. says is nerve pain. She says it should go away but my research is showing it might not.
