Lots of good information from all !! Thanks so much !

LisaM, I am so sorry to hear about the extent of your Pain!! I had no idea you suffered that much!!! Somehow I missed the boat on that one !!

I must admit I don't do the nerve glides as much as I should and am finding it difficult and uncomfortable to have my hands flat, so thanks for the reminder!

Thanks also for the description of your RSD, and the anesthesia/anetheseologist required !! That helps alot !!

And you too Beth, thank you for your information. That is very helpful as well. So sorry about the tube coming out post op. That had to hurt!! And then no pain relief in that area...Geez!!

Thanks for your good wishes Jo55, and yes it will be at least a week if not longer!! Hopefully all will be fine !

You Guys are awesome!! I truly appreciate your advice/suggestions !!
G!
