Preparing For Your Arthritis Of Hand Surgery
Before you have your surgery, there are a few preparation tips that we recommend. These will help you through your recovery. It is important to follow your surgeon’s pre and post-op advice as this is specific to you. We may refer to a doctor who specializes in the treatment of joint problems (rheumatologist) for further evaluation. May Doctor ask for detailed descriptions of your symptoms and information about medical problems you’ve had in the past.
Post Operative Activities
- You’ll be in the hospital for a few days. You can expect some pain and soreness, but medicines will help control that.
