I had an appointment with Dr. Hand Surgeon this morning.
Back in October, he said it'd take another 3-6 months for the stiffness to go away; it's been 8 months and it's still sore (sometimes painful).
SO . . .(under the guise of testing the sensitivity)Dr. Hand Surgeon poked, scratched, and said everything was healing nicely. I was able to feel more today than last time - which means the nerves are growing. BUT growing nerves hurt, and as the area gets more nerves, the growing will hurt more simply because there are more nerves there to feel it. (yeah . . . I suppose that would make sense).
