Hi Christine
I had a operation myself last year, they
had to remove a disc in my spine that was
trapping my sciatic nerve ... the longer
you wait, the longer the recovery period
.. I waited 10 months for my op (good old
NHS in Britain eh) and I'm slowly getting
the feelings back in my legs and toes, I
still get pins n needles sensation, but
it's a lot better than it was..
However, in your hand - where you don't
have any weight baring on it, it feels
like it's getting better, but as all
nerves are, they inflame easily, as you
are using your hands alot, and it has a
weakness already there, and it's trapped.
If your doctor has expressed the need for
surgery, and you are not too sure
yourself, you could get a second opinion!
Good luck and take care.
Ginger
