The tendons and bone grew together when the bone healed. They went in and cut the tendons loose. It still doesn't feel right though.

That sucks! What did they find?

I'm working on 7 months off. Got an appointment tomorrow with the doc whose going to jab needles in my neck.

Well still having issues here. 3 months of therapy and my finger would only bend about half way. They went back in on thursday.

A coworker use to always say "the clutch can be you friend". I don't think you'll find one on a corded model.
