Definitely not what I expected to hear but I guess in life we have to adjust to what comes to us. Makes me feel so silly for worrying about stupid little things before this happened.

Yes, resting my arms helps but sometimes they burn so bad no matter what I do. My level of anxiety is probably not helping either.

Are most people "disabled" from this? I mean temporarily. I guess my dr will have more info for me at the follow up app. I will probably need to apply for disability through my employer if I need to be out for that long. Are dr's supportive as far as understanding you are not able to work?

My first surgeon was more than happy to release me to work although I was barely able to brush my hair after the surgery. I only lasted 2 days.
