Well, if mine is carpal tunnel it is for sure work-related! I don't even have a 'puter a home!
Well, I think I'm going to end up keeping them...depending on what I find out tomorrow--at least, I'm hoping so!
I am separating them this weekend--so I can surely get you some eggs in a few weeks...do you mind if they are testers? Or would you rather wait until fertility is established? what do you have to trade?

The specialist for my wrist didnt really diagnose me with anything
but the good news is that he didnt think it was carpal tunnelmore like either a sprain or tendon/ligament stretched too far that has not healed correctly. He said I only have about 50% mobility in that wrist (compared to my left one) and he suggested I start physical therapy and gave me some exercises to do on my own until I can find a place to do my physical therapy.
He told me that if its not better in two weeks, I need to go back for an MRI so they can look at other things. He also suggested I start taking a glucosamine/MSM supplement and gave me some cream to rub on it at night that is similar to Ben-Gay but is all natural and kind of smells/feels like Vicks.
Saturday, I just did some gardening, weeding and cleaned the house probably too much at once!

There is something else I should tell. I went up for prayer in church. Believe me things are much better. Not having surgery is a big deal to me.
God Bless you take care of your self. Your the only you, you have.

HA! So I got my MRI results back and I have ulna ulnolunate impaction syndrome. This is what I found when looking online about it:
The sixth dorsal compartment is the second most common location of stenosing tenosynovitis in the upper extremity. Although relatively uncommon, stenosing tenosynovitis must be included in the differential diagnosis for ulnar wrist pain.
Patients present with generalized pain of the wrist, with dorsal swelling over the ulna. Many patients are athletes whose sport requires repetitive wrist motion. Clinically, the patient's symptoms may be exacerbated with resistance to dorsiflexion and ulnar deviation. Crepitus is occasionally palpable over the ECU sheath. An injection of lidocaine and cortisone into the sheath can be both diagnostic and therapeutic. As with subluxation, MRI can be used to confirm the diagnosis.
Conservative treatment includes activity modification, ice, splinting, steroid injections, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Surgical release is often necessary with progressive fibrosis of the sixth compartment.
I kind of glazed over after the first few words! HA! I know from my horse classes that dorsal is the upper (top) of something. Like a dorsal fin of a fish is on the top (back). So the dorsal swelling would be the back of my wrist, rather than the underside. Also, the resistance to dorsiflexion would be upward flexion of the wrist like having my arm on the table & trying to bend my fingers backwards, towards the ceiling the cortisone shot part makes me nervous. I heard that crap is REALLY painful!?
The doctor (P.A.) Ive been seeing admitted on the voicemail that he didnt know what it was and that it was over his head. So he said I needed to make another appointment with the specialist so the specialist can go over the results with me!
I called the clinic and the soonest they can get me in to see the specialist is June 11th. I have an appointment Thursday, June 11th at 9:15am for the specialist to read my MRI to me & explain what that all means. That is the next opening he has when hes up here (so I dont have to drive back to Wenatchee). The broad I spoke with would not let me get a word in edge-wise, so I am going to call her back and see if I can see him in Wenatchee sooner
That will make it more than SIX MONTHS since the time my wrist started to hurt & the time Ill get my official diagnosis. Hopefully, this is not something that was curable six months and now, because the doctors are all incompetent, it now requires surgery?!? I guess the bright side is that Ill need a lawyer for my pain & suffering, not to mention my surgery, if that is the case! J Kind of scary, the level of so called medical care around here (or lack thereof).
