Hi,

After an operation, it is common to experience numbness and tingling in the hand for eight to ten hours or longer. A prescription for a pain reliever will be given to you after the surgery, Although frequently only one or two pills will be necessary. The most important aspect of pain relief after hand surgery is strict elevation of the hand.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
