i had ct surgery 18 days ago. due to dr.'s schedule and my husband's i will have stitches out this tuesday--20 days past surgery. what can i expect? my worst problem at the height of cts was my arms falling asleep when driving. this was no small matter. it was like an attack when it came on. i had to pull over and try relaxation techniques. i have high blood pressure that is controlled by medicine. i haven't driven a car since july 20 because once i went off naporsyn 9 days before surgery, my hands were incredibly weak. i will have to have ct surgery for my left hand in october. can anyone give me an idea what's next for me? thanks.
