I started with pins and needles mate.put up with it.until it started waking me up.had injection.after 6 weeks it came back.so man being man i went for another jab.they said no.if you get to a stage where you grip but have to let go of things,then its too late for the op,it wont work.so i had the worst hand done first.you need to get it done.dont want to worry you

To be honest, had it for years. But with all my other medical problems I tend to ignore it!
I won’t bore you though
