@merpreb Three months is my estimate - the doc actually said 5 but I have had this done on the other hand too - that's what it took with diligent twice a day home PT - but total time back to full use is just about 1 year. This will be my 10th? ortho surgery for the tolls arthritis is taking on my body, but I'm a determined patient - I want function back, but don't push hard enough to do damage. I just don't relish the helpless feeling of having my dominant hand out of commission...

Hey Sue. You are a”determined patient”. My husband was diagnosed with RA 2-3 months ago. Same pain and limitations, but no surgery as of today. He ‘s a trooper. Second autoimmune disease. Been a bit of a roller coaster ride. Now, we see people with RA all over the place. Isn’t that how it is???? It sounds like you know what to do and have a “no-nonsense attitude”. Wishing you the best turnout and short healing time Righty or lefty? This is where creative thinking can be an asset! Virgo
