Thanks everyone. I'm now over a week since the FCE and my hands are still not recovered and are in a flare up. In addition to the bone crushing pain they are also very hot to the touch and stiff...I'm guessing from the swelling. I can't get in to see my pain dr until June 29th but I think I may go in to see my primary care doctor and see if they can do anything for the swelling and inflammation since over the counter stuff doesn't seem to be working to at least give me relief on that end. Maybe if the inflammation goes down then the flare will ease up a little too.
