I had this surgery a week and a half ago and so far it has been no big deal. Compared to a 1st rib resection it was a breeze. Dr. Donahue indicated that recovery is about two weeks.

If this doesn't work, I guess I can try the scary surgery later on, but I have the chest pains that and it is more my pinkie and ring fingers that are affected rather than the thumb and pointer finger.
Since being here I read about the PM surgery, and have been doing some myofascial releases for the PM, and have been extremely sore from this. I have a steroid shot schedule for Monday for the PM, they said that was fine, it is still 4 weeks away, and I have a lot of time sitting at a computer between now and then.
They said I can't lift more than 10 lbs for two weeks. Does this surgery hurt afterward if you had it alone, anyone?? How long do you think I will be off work? I am having both sides done at the same time.
