carpel tunnel surgery

I went to a local dealer the other morning and talked to 3 other riders that had carpal tunnel surgery and were glad, mine was yesterday and looks promising. doctor said it was really big release, sounded like clipping #9 wire!
I had to show my new bike and explain why I rode the first 300 cold miles before going under the knife ! While talking about the orange color, 2 of them had Allis Chalmers(orange tractors) same as me !! small world !! 300 miles was about the limit on the Valk, I really think between the new leg/knee comfort and the constant hand numbness I should loose, I can ride some now.

With our insurance changing at work, we are having people dropping everyday to have something done this year. The other hand will be done in 3 weeks. I perform small close tolerance brake press work and have CNC programmed since '78. I can't wait to fab some stuff for the HD.

I had both hands done last December/January and the relief from pain is fantastic. You'll be glad you had it taken care of.

Had both done in the '80. Guy screwed them up.

Cocoa Butter Stick. Get one rub it on those wrist A LOT. It will reduce the formation of scar tissue.

I had my right wrist done 2 years ago. It worked great. I was back to work in 2 weeks and riding in 4 weeks. I'm planning to get mt left wrist done next December.
