outsdrThursday morning, I woke up with out any pain or numbness in my hands or arms. It's hard to describe what that's like. I have become so used to just living with the way things are.
I'll keep this post short.
I went to work and filled in my boss all that had happened, then got to work. I typed fast and sure, with few mistakes. No dropped letters, no extra capitalizations.
But by noon, the weak feeling in my wrist was beginning to return. I put my compression gloves on for the first time that day. A few hours later, I noticed my hands were tingling. Then at 3:45, while just sitting and calmly staring at my computer, hands in my lap, I felt a sudden sharp pain in my lower neck, like I had just wrenched it violently. I gasped in pain, and the muscles in my upper back twisted and bunched from the tension. I arched m back and neck, and popped like a series of firecrackers. The pain was gone in a few minutes, but stiffness settle in my muscles.
When I woke up Friday morning, my back and neck was still stiff and sore. I noticed my hands were shaking when I sat down at my computer, and as the day went on, my wrists felt weaker and weaker. By the end of the day, the pains in my fingers and knuckles had returned.
Ah well, it was nice while it lasted, I suppose.
I took my first dose of neruotin yesterday; hopefully it helps some. I'd say I'm at about 85% of where I was before the treatment, except now I have neck and back pain to go along with it, which I didn't before. I'm hoping that will pass and is just a reaction to the injections. Earlier this evening, I noticed my arms were tingling all the the way to my shoulders. That has passed, but was disturbing at the time. My typing has returned to its previous poorness as well.
My follow up appointment is in July. At least I've learned two things: the nerves that the doctor suspected of casuing the problem seemed to be where he thought; and injections aren't going to help.
