Hi and thanks for your comment. On post op day seven and now down to 2 ES Tylenol/day (1 in AM and 1 in PM). I have a similar icing routine to what you described and it is very helpful with the swelling. I see the surgeon on Monday so will post when I get the scoop on what went wrong with the Stabylx implant.

Stabylx Revision Update. About 4 weeks post op today. The experience of the Trapeziectomy w/ Arthrex mini-tightrope procedure has been very positive. Stabylx implant was removed and for the most part all the pain that was associated with that implant is finally gone. What a relief! The only pain I’m experiencing at this point is normal healing process stuff with the incision and some associated normal post op tightness with the APL tendon transfer. (apparently my FCR was absent when the surgeon opened me up- that’s a whole other post) Still using a OT (occupational therapy) rigid splint (got out of the post op splint after 10 days) with the option to take it off for, dressing, bathing and very light use or just resting. Could not be more pleased with the results of this revision as of this date. Highly recommend the Trapeziectomy w/ Arthrex mini tightrope procedure for advanced CMC arthritis related repair.
