Yes I had my left hand done even though I am a righty. The cortisone shots worked for my right hand, but made the left more painful!

You can't tell I had any surgery. The doctor went in a wrinkle in the palm.

Are you using your hands alot? Even though you had the surgery, you can still aggravate it. When I teach hand sewing and how to make an ugly knot, mine starts to act up.

Then I wear the brace with a betaseron refrigerator gel pad inside and switch them off as they warm up. In a few days I am feeling better.

Hope this helps.
