How long before I can go back to work?

15 July 2020The anaesthetic will take a few hours to wear off so you may still have some tingling in your hand.
Your hand will be slightly swollen and this is helped by elevating your hand above your heart. Sometimes people like to wear a sling to help them remember. This settles over a week or so
Pain settles over a few days and you will need to keep the wound covered until the stitches are removed 10-14 days later.
A gentle movement of the fingers is encouraged from day 1 and very light normal daily use is also advised.
