Brief Answer:
Start exercise gradually in a graded manner.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
After a surgery there is some scarring in the area and the flexibility and strength of muscles may be slightly reduced in that area. The discomfort can be due to stretching of the scar tissue also.
You need to start the weight training of the affected hand gradually in a graded manner so as not to do any harm to the muscles. Stop the exercises just before the uneasiness starts. Gradually increase the weight or the time of the training.
Gradually the muscles will regain the full strength and you will stop having any such uneasy sensation.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
