Finally got an appointment to get an ultrasound on my hand.... on the 23rd. So 2 1/2 more weeks to just to get the test, then a few days to get results in the HOPE that this one tells us what is wrong. UGH
oof, is the additional rest time helping or did the recovery plateau?
pretty much plateaued. Every time I start to think it's getting better, I do something (like vacuuming the stairs this weekend), and I'm reminded that nope, my hand is still messed up
Well *that* will teach you not to clean the house!
Sorry to hear that, no bueno when the healing plateaus.
And despite the constant refrain from the doctor, it is just not all that easy to "not use" your dominant hand
A brace was the only thing that slowed me down...and even then I'd try using my fingers anyway and tweaking my hand in ways not normal by trying to work *around* the brace. I forget what it was but I did something to my arm and/or hand a few years ago...I straight up made a make-shift sling and tied my arm down.
If only there weren't all those pesky adulting tasks like cooking and cleaning to deal with...
