Finally Visited Doctor

February 21st, 2009

I finally went to the doctor last week for my wrist. Actually, I went to my pain doctor and he insisted I go and get it checked out. The doctor put my wrist in a splint up to my forearm. It’s the most uncomfortable contraption. I haven’t been able to put my elbow down or the pain radiates up and down my arm. I have a thing that looks like a sock on my arm which has a shoulder pad in it. I wonder how much they are going to charge the insurance company seeing the prices keeping going up and up. It’s helped stabilize the wrist some. I have been using ice pack on it, well actually a bag of peas on it. I’ve soaked my arm in some Epsom salt too. I hope it gets better because this wrist splint is uncomfortable and it keeps sliding up and down.

    I had that problem with lupus as well. Doc had me wear my splint only at night, avoid the computer and knitting while it healed, and take prescription strength B6. The Epsom soaks felt heavenly. Feel better soon.
