    Shoveling again, sort of.

    I'm 6 days post op from a cubatal/ carpel tunnel repair with a bandage wrap from hand to elbow that is by some miracle supposed to hold up for another 9 days. It's looking pretty ratty and that's a long time to have stictches in and I suppose some of the stictches may " diasapear between now and my appointment.
    So I did some one handed push shoveling today. At point I forgot and went to throw some snow and was quickly reminded.

    I have no wish to be pessimistic but have you been advised of the success rate?

    wife suffered from this for several years...same reflection.....not very successful. We found magnets on-line for carpal tunnel. She wore them for 6 months and has never suffered from it since

    Enough to know we're looking for partial success and no further deterioration. Especially with the cubital tunnel which was the one that bothered me and I already have better feeling.

    I can throw some snow now and get these itchy stiches out today! Hand is mostly, but of course not 100% better. I'll take that
