Some people heal better than others. My surgeon told me I heal poorly. I scar easier than others. It’s either genetics or something I’m forming. I’m 28 years old. After seeing how badly my first surgery scarred my hand, my surgeon used dissoluble stitches on my right hand. The scar is much flatter than the right hand’s. People still ask what I did to my hands. I joke about a stigmata.

Post op advice: after you get the soft cast off, start doing your stretches! It will help with the healing process a lot.

I have what you are describing. It’s not carpal boss. It’s hard scar tissue. You, like myself, are one of the unfortunate few who don’t heal well. My surgeon told me that massaging the area and using heat can reduce or break up the tissue, but I haven’t found that to work for me. He also told me not to worry about it. There is more of a bump from the scar tissue than the initial boss, though there isn’t the same pain from it.
