blech. carpal tunnel [View all]
not the worst thing in the world, but shit.
saw my rheumie today for an overdue recheck. have fibro, asthma, gerd, autoimmune thyroiditis, central apnea. have had persistent trouble with a couple fingers since i had 2 cervical discs herniate. (several years ago) got them fused, but the fingers are still hypersensitive.
the neck still bothers me fairly regularly, and the wrists get sore when they are fatigued. lately waking up with tingling, pain and stiffness.
so, doc wrote an order for splints to sleep with. i suppose they are going to torture me with several ineffective treatments before they do surgery. like always.
sigh. not that big a deal after years of trouble with the fingers. but shit. if i thought for sure he was right, i might not be quite as depressed. but i have as much trouble in my neck as my wrists.
more questions, more tests, more appointments. just when i thought i could live with feeling like shit if i could just stay away from the docs. but they don't give you any pills if you don't see the doc.
