@migizii That's a great story - I have had 3 wonderful docs at TCO, and recommend people consult with them all the time. Last night my best friend told me her hand surgeon advised her to have both wrists fused due to arthritis - less than two years after taking x-rays and telling her they were "fine." I immediately suggested consulting TCO for someone who specializes in carpectomy without fusion, because I had gotten the same advice, changed surgeons & had good results without fusing.
Your story reinforces what we tell people here - be your own best advocate, and don't be afraid to get a second opinion. I hope your healing continues to go well - several year out from surgery my sister in law is doing well on her fused foot and ankle.
Good luck with your therapy - that reminds me I need to go do mine!
