The topic: About four weeks ago

----------------------------------------------

On a sunny Sunday morning, when I woke up, my right thumb wouldn’t pull out straight. Lots of pain. I finally got it to pop and it was really strange, it made this weak assed little sound when I’d try again. I figured maybe I’d strained it or something.

After trial and error, I found one of those cloth splints seemed to help, but the pain was still there. Finally last Friday, I asked the chiropractor about it and he tested me, said my thumb was jammed. Lovely. I know when my ankle was sprained when I was in high school, I was in a cast for six weeks. So, who knows how long this will take, especially since I use it in everything I do. Opposable thumbs, you know?

Which is one of the reasons I haven’t been making more entries than I have been. That sucker hurts. 

Lots of Advil on hand, though.

The swelling has gone down, which is good, now I just have to wait for the pain to go away.

*sigh*



Ouch!!!!
I hope your thumb heals quickly.
No idea how it happened?  That’s so weird.

I don’t know what I did.  From what I can find online, it looks like I sprained it.  I just put on a metal splint and I can type with it on, no pain.  Maybe I should just try wearing this thing for a while and see how it goes. 

A sprain is much better than arthritis, that’s for sure.

He didn’t adjust it for you?  Mine gets something wrong with it and it hurts like crazy sometimes, my chiro adjusts it and it feels fine.
