Well it's not all sunshine & flowers in Rimbauds world right now because this morning I had surgery to repair nerve damage in my hand (I thought it was elbow but it turns out the problem was in my wrist & thumb). Well I hope this works so I can get back to training like a madman ASAP. According to my doctor I should be able to train in about six or seven weeks.

Sorry to hear that Rimbaud.

How did you get nerve damage in the wrist and hand?

Have any idea?

This is your opinion "The Handsome"...

Like anything good in life, Guiness takes a little "getting used to"...

A combo of lifting, genetics, & work.

Did you ignore your body trying to tell you to stop?

You should know better than to work around an injury.

You will only overcompensate and create another injury if you do this.

Well, the cast has been off for a couple days. I'm left with this wicked looking cut-thing on my hand & my palm is really swollen. Right now I can't lift anything over five pounds with that hand & it feels like someone is twisting a knife in my hand.  :'(

Note: Guinness coffee mug put in there for Overload.  ;D

Looks like a lateral release to relieve pressure from the radial nerve??

Well, I thought I add something to this thread I started a few months ago. All the stuff they did to my left hand healed up perfectly & I'm kicking myself for not having it seriously looked at sooner. In July I decided to have carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand. I have to admit it's healing really slowly (probably because I'm right handed). My plans were for while I was off work was to do a lot of cardio & such. However, I decided to simply enjoy my time off rather then train all the time & watch what I eat. Enjoyed the long rest but got a little soft. I wouldn't say fat just soft.

I began seriously training again September 1 & it's been interesting (lots of cable flyes). My right palm is very sore so pressing movements will pretty much be out the window for awhile (I'm not going to even try to seriously bench or anything until December). Other then that strength is returning at an acceptable level but can't do high reps like I used to (yet). Hopefully if all goes well strength & I will be hitting the gym together for a training session.

Currently no plans for a cycle in the forseeable future. But I did find about 200 tbol tabs in my old bag that I used to hide my goodies in so I may take a ride with those for six weeks in a couple months.

Glad to hear it's getting back to normal.

It's hard to believe i had my ACL reconstruction 1.5 years ago, it hardly ever bothers me anymore and i'm already squating and deadlifting decent numbers again.

Nice.

The only real issues are I've only got about 75% of my grip strength & my wrist is a little weak. But it'll get there.

The best thing is to take it slow so you dont have a setback.  I just had surgery on my shoulder Fri.  I've had a sore rotator cuff for about a year, so the doc shaved the bone down to relieve some of the pressure.  Also removed alot of bone spurs.  I blame myself for not taking a break and letting my body heal.  Hopefully I can start some cardio in a week or so.  But as far as training with weights I'm sure it will be a while.

All is going well with training. Grip strength is nearly 100%. Almost no pain in the right hand. Starting to move some real weight again.

Bad genetics I guess. Both my parents had it really bad - both had surgery right about the same age.

How much scar tissue did they take out of the wrist?

Was it the outpatient procedure?

How did it feel after the lidocaine wore off?

1. Very little.
2. Yes.
3. Didn't have that. After the block & the general wore off it hurt like a guy for about five days.
