Hello @murphygirl, Welcome to Connect. I'm sorry to hear the pain returned after the surgery. From what I've read on the surgery around 1 of 5 patients have returning pain.

There are a couple of discussions you might find helpful:

Have you discussed options with your hand surgeon?

Yes. He mentioned one of two small bones in my wrist. I plan to go in and get the details from him and then get a second opinion.
