Yes, one of the first things dr Jordan told me was that i was going to have to limit my computer use to two hours a day FOREVER. This was before the first block, before the first botox, all in all about 4-5 months after the initial injury.

Also, in TOS surgical papers "success" is defined as reduction in symptoms of at least 50%. That is surely not cured. Not even close when you start where we are.


On the other hand, I do not think shoulder injuries adn knee injurues go away after surgery either. Many people who have joint issues that cause a shoulder, knee, hip, whatever to never be the way it was before. I know my knees will never be the same after one particular hike where we went for too hard, too long...my hubby's knees are weaker after that same hike, too. Of course, I can walk on them and all, it is just a problem when I do anything strenuous on them. But hey...TOS solved that problem

As I have only been on disability for about 6mo I am not too worried about my long term future YET...but I am switching from short to long term disability and there is a review to be had by the LT company, so perhaps I will become more jaded soon....'course i have dr jordan writing up all my paperwork, so keep your fingers crossed for me that I can stay out long enough to get what i need fixed before i go back in whatever limited capacity i am going to go.
