Rare failed surgery on both hands?

Hi, loves. The surgery is a getaway for most things people and most people suffering without things getting help should get it. But even case like mine exist.

I have suffered from dequervain bilaterally from 2020, shut inside and all... Never braced properly (never told to), the first year care was atrocious. Then I got into rehab eventually; didn't work for me, tried three types+some online videos.

Fast forward, I am cycling through phases of giving up and trying to rehab again only to fail. Doctor said injection is dumb. I avoided surgery cause... Well I had school to do, work to do etc (uni student age btw). Eventually, after my bachelor's thesis, I went for it.

Summer of 2025, 1.5 months in between, got the surgery. They told me in a few weeks I'll be good. No need for special rehab. Give it time.

In a few weeks, it didn't get better. They told me give it three months at a post surgery consultation. In fact, five months after I still struggled but yeah it WAS BETTER (?) for day to day Things like showers and cutting and holding pans.

But I tried Putting some weight Not even HEAVY on it, progressively, watching for pain signals during and after, at the gym recently in 2026. Despite being careful the symptoms came back and my hands feel like before the surgery. It's been over a week of being in pain again and nothing is helping me much :(

edit: I do have neck and forearm issues, I saw wellness nerd video but idk if it's the answer to my chronic issues
