I had surgery with this DR. for arthritic pain at base of my thumb.
His office promised to be able to use hand after 8 weeks.
After 5 months my hand is still in pain. cant lean on it or make any effort holding items, without pain, Dr's answer: " don't lean on it!".
When reported to his secretary that I am worse than before surgery I got no call back!
