Nerve surgery

[Zoetstofzoetje]

Anyone here undergone surgery for a pinched nerve before? In my case the problem area is in the elbow.

If so, how long before you could type with that hand again? Drive a car?

I've been undergoing electroshock-fysiotherapy for two months for an hour each day on my arm to see if that would help. It didn't. One thing is for sure though: If I ever get captured by an intelligence agency for some reason, they're going to have a tough time interrogating me...

Have you considered amputation?

IIRC insurance companies offer decent compensation for amputated limbs.

I'm not insured so that's not a profitable option

i think my father has a similar problem. he is going to have an operation in june and he will be unable to drive for between 1-2 months. obviously the best thing would be to consult your doctor as he's more likely to know than random guys on the internet.

You could try moving to a country other than Yankystan.

Most 1st world countries have decent health care programs.

You got some nerve, making a thread about this.
