I'm finding a lot of information about it on the internet, but prefer to talk with someone who has dealt with it. I've been to two doctors and will be seeing a hand specialist soon.

In 1983 I had both done about 6 weeks apart. After the first surgery I was told the entrapment was that of a truck driver many years my senior and was not given a lot of hope for full recovery. I had 100% use back after each surgery. This was many years ago and I would think things have come so far since that time. After the surgery we reared twins, got into house rehab, and I truly would say we abused our bodies! My surgery was my ticket to doing what I classified as fun and others would see as stupidity!
My only regret is living the couple years with the discomfort and loss of use and not having it done sooner. I do believe your body will be your guide and you will know when the time is right. Find the doctor you fully trust.
I wish you the best of luck and hope you have the same success I had.
