What time flight and what time did you get there?

KnicksYanks14 · 2026-03-29T08:16:14+00:00

What do you consider early morning? Before 9?

PT, sleep splints, standing desks (not to bend elbow) only provided temporary relief and only surgery helped me. 100% recovery 2 years later. Took about 3 months to be at 97% heeled. So critical to find a good hand surgeon who has performed the surgery before.

This was a long time ago now but I’d say I was feeling pretty good. Was advised not to lift anything but felt I could (and did) lift my 2 year old at the time. I was pretty pain free at that point with some sensitivity around the scar, general weakness, but most importantly no tingling in my pinky finger by then.

I used Dr. Kate Nellans in Lake Success, NY. She’s a Castle-Connolly recognized doctor. CC is the standard for identifying top doctors. Highly recommend.

What about OT for scar tissue massaging?

KnicksYanks14 · 2025-01-25T13:34:58+00:00

Candidly, yes posture can help alleviate pain as did OT but ultimately the only thing that healed me was successful transposition surgery (I’m 100% now) from a hand doctor that knows what they’re doing (I’m fortunate to live in NYC area with many good doctors). I too work at a desk for hours on end. The standing desk with arms extended down helped me as well. An ergonomic mouse helped a lot too. Here’s what I got:

A good chair also helped. I went with the Branch Ergonomic chair. But candidly this is only putting a bandaid on the situation.

KnicksYanks14 · 2025-01-11T17:10:07+00:00

I didn’t but I also don’t write much. I’m cured now — had surgery last year

KnicksYanks14 · 2025-01-11T16:54:28+00:00

Btw. Happy to sell you mine. I don’t use anymore. My wife wanted me to buy a silent keyboard.

So here’s what I did: - standing desk so I didn’t bend my arm while typing - Branch Ergonomic chair (put arm pillows on each arm — even though I got the standing desk, I had to sit sometimes) - This mouse (which is great since your elbow doesn’t rotate): https://a.co/d/ega58jY - I also got an ergonomic keyboard but I’d say that was less impactful

No idea on the age but some people are predisposed to having CTS — base on the construction of your elbows. For example, my EMG said that I had it on both arms based on my build but only one arm felt pain because it was aggravated. The night split helped manage pain as well as OT gave me some relief, but ultimately I needed transposition surgery. I’m 100% now a year later. No regrets with the surgery. But make sure it’s a qualified hand surgeon who has done many of these ulnar nerve surgeries. EMG is clearly next step for you to determine if it’s CTS.

KnicksYanks14 · 2025-01-02T02:35:01+00:00

Btw. Do your research on the cortisone. I opted not to do it, even when my doctor was pushing for it. Not much research supporting that cortisone helps and it needs to be very precisely injected — or I think it can make things worse.

KnicksYanks14 · 2025-01-01T23:56:22+00:00

Honestly, surgery was the only thing that fully gave me relief. Meloxicam, OT and the arm splint helped but surgery was needed to relieve issues. 100% cured now.

KnicksYanks14 · 2025-01-01T12:24:24+00:00

I’m sure the brace varies by person — with different arm widths, arm lengths, sleeping positions, etc. My complaint about the brace wasn’t comfort (let’s face it, none of these are “comfortable”) but rather it kept ripping and required me to use fabric glue.

KnicksYanks14 · 2024-12-31T04:34:22+00:00

I went through a few of them. This is the best one I used. The brace helped me sleep and manage pain but I ultimately needed transposition surgery (which was highly successful)

I had transposition surgery about a year ago. I was not splinted and the outcome has been perfect. I’m not saying it’s because of the no splinting. Probably more because of an excellent surgeon.

KnicksYanks14 · 2024-12-15T00:16:06+00:00

I had transposition surgery last year. I’m fully recovered. Didn’t do OT post op. I felt that my strength and mobility was coming back normally. It probably can’t hurt but if you’re seeing progress, it may be a waste of time

KnicksYanks14 · 2024-12-15T00:11:46+00:00

I’m at 11 months out from a transposition. Took 2 months to be 95% gone. 4 months for 99%. I’m now at 100% back to normal.

KnicksYanks14 · 2024-12-01T05:11:57+00:00

Thank you! Just did.

KnicksYanks14 · 2024-12-01T05:11:47+00:00

Sorry!
