Hi,
Please be relaxed, you are on the path to recovery.
Often it seems wrong but you need to be patient and follow the advice of your surgeon and physiotherapist.
Post traumatic surgical rehabilitation of hand is a very slow process it will take 12weeks to 16weeks for you to feel the difference.
This too will pass!
