Ouchie hand update
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>
