Hi there! I too have nearly the same condition as you have described (and am also the same age). One additional symptom that I am experiencing is tingling down my arm and what seems like 'fatigue'. That is, I seem to lose the strength in my grip, or it feels more difficult to make a fist.

I have an appt. to see an OS on Monday, and will find out if she recommends surgery. I have heard that the surgery itself is not an issue, but that the rehab is long and slow. I have 5 kids and do not have the time (nor luxury) to skip work and "rest" my arm. I guess, I'll just have to be patient and wait til Monday before I begin further research. Thanks for posting this. I think it's odd that our symptoms/age/activity/work level are so similar.
