A member asked:
I'm online now. type your question here. is swelling/numbness typical, in thumb, post a1 pulley release surgery, 3 days out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3 days out: is early into the recovery period for this trigger finger surgery. I would certainly think some swelling and numbness would not be unexpected... probably for a couple more weeks. Your surgeon should have provided some post-procedure information/instructions. If pain/swelling/numbness increase or you have other questions, contact your surgeon. Good wishes:)
