im almost a month post op (had medial epicondilitis and cubital tunnel surgery). i tried playing video games two weeks after the operation after my doc checked the incision and said it was healing great, and continued to play since i wasnt having any pain. i also did some drawings (im right handed) and everything seemed fine there too. yesterday decided to wash my brace. that required me to not have it on for a bit while it air dried. come today, it hurts, kinda like how it used to pre-surgery. im freaking out because im afraid i ruined whatever my doc did in there. its not like "im dying" pain, its just dull pain. i tried to be careful while my brace wasnt on, but it seems that didn't do too much.

Anxious thoughts after surgery are understandable! The soreness could be from the brace itself, from all the constant pressure as you move around with it. It could also be soreness from unaided movement after everything has moved and is healing. As long as it is dull pain, I don't think you have anything to worry about but you can always ask your doctor to check. It may feel silly but it's not! Better to get peace of mind than obsess over it. Good luck with the rest of your recovery!
