As might appear, the carpometacarpal joint is circled by someone and seems to have some importance.
I will be having surgery on the joint above. Like most such surgeries, this will be outpatient and not pleasant. Recovery will take forever, but is actually a few months.
My posts for the next weeks will be like this. Education worthy for sure. Stop by and have some giggles?
Comment section will be off for a while, until my digits say otherwise.
Good luck with your surgery! I hope it gives you relief in the long run.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about this.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the surgery and get better quickly.
Praying all goes well and it heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for a full and speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteAnxious to hear how it goes. I am having trouble in my right hand and feels like the exact spot circled. OUCH. Still not unbearable.
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best. Sherry just said, that is what you need, at times she is a smart aleck. I can't tke that much time off from playing.
We will be thinking of you. Hang in there....
Sherry & jack sending love and hugs from the first coast.
I just wanted to come back and say today I met a Pit Bull that decided to do my operation for me. He hit me about 2" away from the circle area. His aim wasn't too good. ;-)
DeletePrayers up!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you are having such misery. I was starting to have that problem and switched to using the mouse with my left hand and the right is now OK--for now. Hope your surgery is painless and very successful.
ReplyDeleteSure hope the surgery fixes things and that everything will be working again quickly.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. Lots and lots of luck - and happy and healthy healing.
ReplyDeleteOh Susan, I'm so sorry you have to endure this. I hope the operation is successful and that the recovery isn't as grim as it sounds here. Thanks for visiting me. When you are able to type, please keep us posted on your progress. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGood luck. Hopefully after recovery the pain will be completely gone.
ReplyDeleteI'm wishing you an uneventful surgery, good painkillers for a week, and successful rehab for a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you are in pain and I hope your surgery is successsful and recovery less painful than you expect. I also have arthritis in both thumbs, in both joints but not the carpo-metacarpal. In the middle joints of a couple of fingers also, but not so bad that it bothers me much.
ReplyDeleteMy best to you, dear Susan, and I hope this surgery will give you some relief.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you have to have surgery soon. I do hope you heal quickly. My mom had arthritis and had to have a cortisone shot now and then, which helped. I sometimes get trigger finger, from typing and using them all day working. It seems they get better during the day, but when I wake up, their stiff. I hope you feel better, Susan. Arthritis runs in my family too.

Yikes, I'm so sorry to read this. I hope you are feeling far better quickly! We'll all be here when you are ready to type/write. Hey, look at all the blog fodder you will have to write about. :-) Speedy Recovery!
ReplyDeleteI can relate to your pain! I have the same complaint and many of my coworkers in surgery do too! I've done many of these surgeries during my career in the operating room and I hope this helps your hand. I went for an EMG yesterday to see if my numb hands are from carpal tunnel. Time will tell..prayers for a good outcome and healing.
ReplyDeleteI hope your surgery was a success!
