Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / January 2006Tomorrow's the day!
First thumb synovectomy is scheduled for tomorrow. We won't know what time until I call later. I know it's a brief procedure and I should be out of there in only a couple of hours, but I am so excited at the prospect of getting to work on getting my thumbs back! Post-op can't be much more painful than some recent days have been. Yesterday, every time the phone rang I feared it was the office calling saying they'd have to reschedule for some reason. LOL It never was. Man, I though January 13th was taking way too long to get here!

Hope everything goes on schedule, quickly and painlessly as possible. Don't hit yourself in the face when your arm is numb! Jo > Any place but this group I'd think you were daft being eager for surgery. lol, only here and with my family did i let on how excited i was about this. no one else would truly understand, they'd get all worried and concerned. meanwhile, i'd forgotten just how good-looking dr wroblewski is in person - and nice to boot! good thing mike's been nice to and appreciative of me lately lol <weg> all went fine surgically. he said there was a little less inflammation and a little more arthritis than he'd expected from the films - both he and my rd thought there was less joint erosion than there actually was, though it was mostly on one side of the joint. he cleaned out the inflammation and also removed a small bone spur no one knew was there. now i'm bandaged, splinted, iced (20 min. each hour while awake) and mostly left-handed for awhile. oh and he put in a nerve block so it wouldn't hurt too much for a while - right now there left thumb hurts more than th operated-on one does. one rn has a daughter who just started enbrel for psoriasis and very, very early pa so we talked some about that. they found the pa during a workup to get insurance approval for enbrel for the severe ps, so she's getting good treatment for the pa right at the beginning.

[quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > thanks > sheila i had shots and they didn't help at all, but i have pa, not oa so the issues are different. my brother has oa in his thumbs and thus far has been helped by some splints that were fit by a hand therapist and by altering how he does things. i'd think it would depend on how far advanced your thumb oa is.
