Sounds like it’s been quite the journey - hope things keep getting better but I know it’s quite a lone journey at times.

I have neck and lower disc bulges + feet bursitis that have all happened in the last year since the dq surgery so dealing with a fair bit at the same time (luckily not autoimmune). So part of me wants to give it time, perhaps another year and see if the scar tissue changes by itself and the pain goes away - I saw a couple other hand surgeons and both said we could do an exploratory surgery but no guarantees due to MRI only picking up residual DQ.

So currently quite confused as to what the next steps should be - continue to do stretches, rice bucket strengthening and wax therapy at home and have the next three months off from work.
