I had the CP surgery 2 weeks ago. Recently, I have been having discomfort / pain in my fingers. It does not hurt if my hand is still or typing, but if I wave my fingers, then it hurts.
Does anyone has that?

What do you mean by waving your fingers? do all the fingers seem to be involved or just a couple? Does that feeling occur when you move your thumb and not the fingers?

The Dr says that I need surgery for cp if you had it to do over again what would you do??? is it better after the surgery??? my biggest problem is that I can't hold anything, the dropping thing left and right....

when I saw waving fingers i mean as in like when you type or when you say hi or goodbye. It is the four fingers. The thumb does not hurt as much

kimmie-Kat,
I'm not sure I am one that you should use a a basis for an answer to your questions. Have you tried physical therapy or alternative exercises ? ultrasound? cortisone shots? accupuncture? vitamin B?
Have you sought a second opinion?
I had ct release on my right hand in 1993. It was very successful and I still don't have problems with that hand, despite me using it more than I ever did, to compensate for problem with my left hand.
I had ct release on my left hand in 2005....and because things didn't go well for healing or whatever, I had surgery again on it, not quite a year later. It still isn't 100%, but it is better than it was after the first surgery. I too, am dropping things, though not a much as you. I've broken dishes, drying them, and I lose a coffee cup full of coffee every so often. I think I have a grasp on them, but I guess not, so something is haywire in the nerves there yet.
I would ask around and seek the best hand surgeon you can find...or best ortho doc that does mainly upper extremity surgery. And be well informed about complications that can result from the surgery to decide if risk of surgery outweighs the problems you are having with you hand now. And too, if you wait until it is worse, it may not be as correctible.

Well had surgery on my right hand on April 18th and am doing just fine... Typing good no double stroking with the right hand but the left is driving me crazy. can't wait to get the other hand done but the Doctor wants to wait at least one monthe before ha even wants to schedule it so when I go back on the 28th fo check up the he will set the date for the left hand to be done.
so what I am trying to say is that I am so happy with my surgery...
