So I’m getting Release surgery on Thursday- a week earlier than originally planned due to a scheduling mistake. Excited to get the pain addressed, but nervous about recovery because it’s my dominant hand. :blobcatbandage:

In continuing to refine my ergonomic fix (specifically for my , which the deck does not play well with) I decided I wanted to better correct... I forget the medical terms, but let's call them wrist pitch and roll.

This is something that really needs physical modeling, so I'm trying clay for the first time. Still a work in progress but you get the basic idea. Here's a side by side so you can see the difference.

I think I might be developing carpal tunnel from years of professional cooking, gaming, and all the time I spend sitting at my computer...

Time to get some wrist braces and watch youtube videos on wrist exercises... whee?

I printed the first prototype for my attachment to help with my . I'm pretty pleased with the shape overall. Hard to show a proper A/B comparison when my other hand is holding the camera, but the last 2 photos give a sense of how much it improves wrist bend.

The edges came out as a hot mess--I need to rethink how I do the print orientation and supports. My plan here was to piggyback on one of the screw holes for attachment, but that didn't work out. Mulling plan B.

I watched yesterday's Pulvertaft Webinar on "why hand surgery is a failure" by our trustee Prof Dom Furniss. I highly recommend it if you want to hear about his research! The Dupuytren part starts at 29 minutes in, but the thumb osteoarthritis and carpal tunnel/ trigger finger research he explains before that is also fascinating.

Update, maybe it's carpal tunnel syndrome?

I should be able to get back into gaming on Sunday. I've given my thumb plenty of rest and even after flaring up again after treatment, it's beginning to feel better.

Took the antiinflammatories and steroids as prescribed. Now that I'm out, my thumb is beginning to hurt again, hence the movie day instead of game day. Sniffle.

If anyone has ideas for wrist pain, I'd love to hear about them.

I have the brace (it'd work better if I were wearing it). Tonight my PT also used some metal tool to torture my forearm.

Me: Is that supposed to feel like raking over gravel?

Him: <laughs> Ohhh no. No, this is much worse than normal.

Me: <laughs> I like to excel at things.

I got some stretches, too. Beyond that....? Ideas? I'm open to anything, my webdev class is suffering. :/

I know that I've been quiet for a few weeks, and this is my first "official" post over here in the good place.

Got my morning walk in today, a great way to start off my week. And still on pace to finish up the challenge!

The reason that I've been quiet is at the end of October, I started experiencing very severe hand and elbow pain in my left arm. After some tests, and doctor consultations, the decision was made to undergo surgery for carpal tunnel release and medial epicondylitis release. I underwent the same surgery on my right elbow in 2018 (I think, I've unfortunately had to undergo so many surgeries I don't even remember the years). But the interesting thing is, despite being commonly associated with overuse, both are almost 99.999% genetic related. Which means that my future probably holds a right hand carpal tunnel release at some point to, because you can't out-train, out-work, or out-medicate genetics. I'm just one blessed/cursed with smaller joint capsules, which means less space for everything to actually go where it is supposed to.

But, I am well on my way to recovery, I have almost no pain or discomfort, and I have already started some rehab exercises that will probably resume next week.

Plus side, I need to move my hand/fingers a lot, which means extra video games (I mean, rehab) :)

Since I've just changed servers, for those of you that are not aware I'm currently on gaming hiatus due to a thumb injury.

I was at the point where I couldn't even button things. It's starting to heal with a brace, rest, and rotating cold and heat.

I hope I'm healed by Thursday, but honestly if not Tuesday I'm going to the doc. I should have already been, but I'm a procrastinator, too!
