So true, how well I know.......Curt
I will have an appointment with my surgeon soon, this since about 2 & 1/2 months ago operation was completed. I can continue with the Physical Therapy and some times the incision area can stand long sleeve shirts which was not earlier on. Though, after while sometimes that will make it very sore.
If the visit to follow up with with the surgeon can see anything wrong with the healing, I would be interested in that.
I have a book on PT call "How of Ow". I skipped to the end of the book after reading about 20 pages. There at the end of the book were exercises for ulnar and median nerves. The beginning really talked a bit about pain that can still be sensed when healing is completed.
I guess a kind of over fight / flight response of the mind not forgetting the pain some how. I was not sure the whole book would be on that. Oh, I can understand this being true, but I was told recovery could be a few months to over a year.
I suppose a nerve conduction test would tell what is better so far. I just don't like the idea of needles, wires, and shock testing, since the incision area is not in my opinion ready for that if long sleeves are still a problem.
Vitamin supplements C and Zinc tablets I was prescribed. I am not using them now, but I really like fresh squeezed orange juice. My orange tree has lots of bloom ready to open.
I found at the bigger city market 8lb bags of oranges for 6 bucks. I got 2 bags and have orange juice with at least half the pulp added back in. One thing for sure is, for a while my mind is elevated to some place that is more than OK! I am not using all of the juice very quickly. I know how the sugar in the juice, although natural, can be too much in some way if not in moderation.
