I would just disclose on my next medical.
Were you flying with this condition that went unreported? If not I wouldn't worry about. Just clean up the paperwork trail.
I sat at home with a broken elbow in 2004 for 4 months. When I went back to work I reported the injury to my AME and reported the injury/surgery etc on my medical history. The Doctor noted that I had good range of motion and that was that.
So you reported the condition even before needing to renew the medical? Just so they could update your file? That is probably what I will do then. I will gather my nerve conduction tests and add the MRI results that came out well and get a letter from the DOC for the AME stating that I'm back to normal so he can send it to Oklahoma. So you dont think Oklahoma will receive the letter and say they will revoke my medical? I dont think so right? If I'm voluntarily noting the case and also showing them proof of my recovery to 100% normality.
About flying, I only flew twice on 2 one hour flights to do my flight review. Other than that no, no other flying. Also when I flew those two flights, it was when I had no pain as my hand was hurting on certain ocassions not 100% all the time.
Since I have a 1st class medical and dont plan on going to the airlines for at least another 3 years or so due to finishing school and getting more hours I was just going to let it fall to third class privileges and in another 4 1/2 years when I go to renew it for another 1st or 3rd, you think maybe then I should take the paperwork as a well past condition. It would be liek 3 years behind me by then.
