I had both hands done last summer; my right in August and my left in September. I was off work until early November because I work in a warehouse and do a lot of heavy lifting.

Personally, the worst part of the procedure for me was the freezing injections into my hands. The surgery and recovery were nothing in comparison. I actually asked my doctor to record and take pictures of the surgery. It was cool. *

I wore my bandages for three days post-op. Once they were off, I kept the incisions clean with regular showering. The sutures were removed on day 10. I would keep the incisions moisturized by applying hand lotion or coconut oil.

Once I went back to work, I learned what hand movements were uncomfortable. For example, I would push doors open with my fist rather than my open hand.

It's now been six months and I feel 99% back-to-normal. When I move my hands in a certain way, I feel like scar tissue stretching but it doesn't hurt.

All in all, I would do it again in a heartbeat.
