Ouchie hand update

[edschweppe]

Following up on https://edschweppe.dreamwidth.org/382592.html, in which I learned that I have something called scaphotrapeziotrapezoid arthritis:

The Tuesday before last, the hand doc gave me a corticosteriod shot. It took a couple of days for the pain of the shot itself to wear off; once it did, though, my wrist felt fine. Until yesterday, when I started noticing the same sort of pain, in the same place, on an off-and-on basis.

Looks like I may have to investigate that surgery option after all. Exactly what I wanted to be thinking about the day before my birthday, during what is predicted to be a week-long heat wave.

Yay. </sarcasm>

Yeah, back before my knee surgery I got a cortisone shot which only helped for a few days. While I've got mild arthritis in various joints, so far it has avoided my hands. Fingers crossed while I can still do so without pain. And hang in their.
