Update on hand problem

[LBS-bass]

I don’t have six weeks for recovery downtime which is what the doctor said yesterday I would need, so options seem limited.

The surgery you had sounds like the percutaneous release, which wasn't offered to me. My option is either injection or fully open surgery with a six-week recovery. Not sure why the percutaneous release was not offered as it is what I had hoped to do.

The shot is far less invasive. Steroids have their own issues, but this sounds like a no-brainer to me. One shot vs. six weeks? What's to lose by going with the shot? Worst case, it works for a couple years, then you need another one or need surgery then from the sounds of things.

It sounds like there's really only one way to go, and it's probably the most logical anyway.
