Best of luck to everyone with surgery scheduled. I had my surgery on 9/18. So far so good. I'm told its a 6 month recovery until ur at ur best. I have R sided NTOS. I also have trouble with my fingers. Always had. Numbness pain tingling small task and dropping of things. I do have a new symptom of my fingers constantly twitching. I hope it resolves soon. God Bless and keep searching.
