    I get this was made 6 years ago, but having an arm/wrist cast for months can be difficult, i struggle with moving it around , and my fingers moving. And also the bags aren't that safe cause they can break during the wear. A better option it professional aqua cast bags that seal at the top of you're arm

    You're great at these short, informative videos! Would love to see more videos on different topics. I'm 6 days out from an ulnar nerve decompression surgery. I could have used some of your tips and tricks! My hand has been weak for a while so I'll start using your shampoo tip today. Thanks!

    Hey Lara, I see you haven’t posted in a while but I wanted you to know that your videos have been super helpful. I am having bilateral endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery in a couple of weeks and have been looking for info. This video is by far the most helpful I have found. Thank you!

    Had both my wrists and right ankle done at same time. I had a lot of pain and was totally unable to help myself or do anything for myself for weeks. Also could not return to work as I am a nursery teacher.

    WILL MY STRENGTH COME BACK OR INCREASE AFTER HEALING FROM THIS CARPAL TUNNEL PROCEDURE?

  • @barbaramcnulty7505
    @barbaramcnulty7505 Před 11 měsíci

    It's a lot easier without the accompanying agonising pain, also I couldn't open ring pull cans as two hands are required, and I haven't the strength in the uninjured hand to pull back. Very tired as well as the body puts the energy inyo healing the bone.

    One thing to mention on your video. You are using all your fingers to do stuff. I have a broken wrist in a cast on my wrist and my fingers cannot be used. So the video is a little misleading

    Thank you SO much for the suggestion of OB vet gloves. This was my second carpal tunnel surgery and I didn't know about them the first time. In fact, I just told my surgeon and he had never heard of that and loved the idea. So much easier! Thank you. Thank you!

    Ouh darn... The most important one. A hack for when you literally need to make an entire day trip to the fracture clinic since they're not local, and as soon as you come home, your toddler slips it right off just as easy as a sweater sleeve. It nearly falls off its so loose. So, any tips to remould the cast to get a tighter fit without needing to waste another entire day driving?
