How long was it after your surgery before you were really using your fingers for day to day stuff like brushing teeth, etc?
First therapy session was today
I’m in this splint full time 24/7 for 5-6 weeks.
I’m only doing passive movement of my thumb, essentially just taking my offer hand and bending it toward my palm, and trying to make a fist with my 4 fingers.
It hurts like a bitch!

As far a first hand experience Is concerned, it’s surprising how little there is on the Internet about this.
Hardly any you tube videos or first hand accounts about recovery out there at all

It LOOKS like it hurts like a bitch! Good luck with the therapy buddy.

Now why would you be trying to make a fist? Is Rosie getting itchy?

It took about 6 weeks before full movement and feeling returned.
