Carpal tunnel surgery 8 weeks ago

Just a quick comment and follow up. I posted back in July about having CTS on my right hand early August. At that time, both hands were bothering me, but the right hand was far worse on a day-to-day basis, which seems logical since I'm right hand dominant. Riding was becoming challenging at times, because my hands would be so numb I couldn't shift. Other trivial life events where a struggle too - I couldn't for example, often answer my iPhone in the middle of the night, turn off the alarm clock function on it, etc. my hands would be too numb to manipulate the phone properly.

So, it's been a good thing. I'm a happy boy - even though the surgeon had to do the "open" method, so about a 2 inch incision, it was instant relief from the numbness and pain.

Now, only my left hand bothers me when I ride or otherwise - the incision on my right hand bothers me a little bit at the gym when I do things that put pressure on that area, such as push-ups.

Looking forward to having the left done in December.
