Oww!!

I have a new orthopedic surgeon....this one is for my hand/wrist.  I'm sure my leg doc will be jealous.
Nice enough doc.
He doesn't mess around.
Go in, do the tests, get 'er done.
You'd think with all the nerve pain medications I take this wrist crap wouldn't be bothersome....but there's the lump that I now know isn't a cyst....and I can't open dill pickle jars without pain....and now doing dishes has become painful.  I muddled through until this past weekend when himself bannished me from the sink.

It's nothing awful...
Radial Styloid Tenosynovitis
Synovitis And Tenosynovitis

And the "get 'er done"?? THERE'S the 'not so wonderful'  ......two, count 'em, TWO injections into my wrist/hand.
OMFG!!!
I suppose it's good that he didn't give me a lot of time to mull it over.  Two injections probably weren't on my "fun things to do today" list..... (...k...no 'probably' to that one....)

But it's all good.
I'm growing fond of the blue squishy ice bags.
AND those boring brown bandaides they stuck on the injection sites.....replaced by Dave the Minion!!

I'm glad it's all good... now all I need do is Google 'Radial Styloid Tenosynovitis and/or Synovitis and Tenosynovitis. Thank goodness it's curable, whatever it is! Take care.

Yikes, Mel! And I'd be like you, the less time I had to think about it, the better. "Just do it" is my motto.

Like Valerie, I need to Google this to find out exactly what it is. I'll that tonight.

And I LOVE the David the Minion ice bags. OMG...they're so CUTE!!!!

You take care, dear lady.

(((((((( You ))))))

Have a great night!

For the longest time I struggled with lumps in my wrists too. I learned via the phone from my homeopath that anger was causing them. Is that crazy?? Anyway... I started working on my thinking. I was doing a ton for fretting and we all know I've written how many posts about that... cause I've struggled. But.. guess what... it has improved. Sure my wrist hurts when I scrub the tub or whatever... but I don't do pots and pans anymore and it's gotten rest and together I've found improvement. I would never have guessed that emotions would have come to play so much.

I'm sure that's not your issue... but all that to say... I feel your pain... [hugs]
