Yes, I do have my SO....and it DOES feel better with a massage. I've asked him to do it...but for some reason he just can't do it RIGHT. He never could give a good massage! LOL! I told him to only use his thumb...to put the rest of his fingers on the BACK of my hand and keep them still while he massages the inside of my hand with his thumb. But for SOME REASON, he just can't keep the rest of his fingers still!
I wonder if he can walk and chew gum at the same time? LOL!
Okay...that was mean...LOL! I love him to pieces and he IS wonderful to me. He truly is. He tries. He does everything he possibly can for me. But I CANNOT have him touching my hands like that. If he moves those fingers on the back of my hand, it hurts. It makes things WORSE.
Sometimes I will use the knuckles of my OPPOSITE hand to massage myself. When I'm driving, I can massage my right hand on the gear shift of my car, but my left hand I have nothing to massage it on. It's getting harder and harder to drive, too. I've been putting my hands thru the steering wheel, driving with my wrists...but now the spasms are moving into my wrists, and on my right side they are going into my muscle up by my elbow. Not all the time, there, but throughout the day about 4-5 times. So it's getting harder and harder. And I don't like it. It's getting more difficult, which means it's getting harder to go to work. That's not good
