I appreciate reading of your experience as I am about to have rTSR. Could you speak to your experience during the weeks after surgery and before PT, please. I live alone and am trying to anticipate how much support I will need given my dominant arm will be in a sling. Pain level, does your hand move at all, what is most important for the best outcome? other? Thank you.

With the nerve block my hand did not move until the block wore off (5 days). I did have help with getting ready to bathe. I had to wear my brace for 3 weeks. After the 5 day block I only took Tylenol or Advil for pain. Started PT at 3 weeks.
