Attempted 4 grafts but was only able to do 2 successfully. Since having the surgery I have had numbness and burning in my right hand and partial numbness in my right arm since right after surgery. Doctors told me my arm and hand would be back to normal in a couple of months, no longer than 6 months. Still the same and has gotten worse, not better. One ORTHO Surgeon told me it was severe CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME in my right hand. Had the surgery done with no improvement, I had heart bypass surgery in 02/07.
