I had my tendon sheath cut via surgery on my right wrist (dominant hand) five weeks ago and am still in pain from my thumb to my elbow. The elbow pain is actually. It’s only been hurting for a few weeks. I started pt last week and use ice packs, but nothing helps the pain. PT tells me not to do repetitive motions but no dr has put me on leave even though my job is doing repetitive motions with my dominant hand. When I told the surgeon about a week and a half ago, he said the surgery was a success and got defensive. I wasn’t questioning his abilities. I was questioning the way my body is healing.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
