Sounds like you have it a lot worse than I.
My previous surgeries were quite successful resulting in full range of motion and pain free. Recovery time was a couple of weeks if I remember correctly. I'm 64 so I had my first hand surgery when I was about 50. When I had my first carpel tunnel surgery I held a conversation with the surgeon while he did the repair as I sat in a recliner.
In addition I've had four knee surgeries unrelated to my hand issues. The knee problems stemmed from having the choice of being run over by a full sized Chevy sedan or laying down a 50cc Honda scooter. Tangled my R foot between the frame & the engine when I went down.
Matters only worsened over time requiring knee repairs culminating with an ACL replacement after I fell on some concrete steps (partial tear) and then full on ripped in half after I fell on an icy parking lot.
