Thanks for your dear replies. You are such a nice folk.
. When reading Broken Wing's post I felt like being in an old movie which we sometimes see about the old times in the US. Sounds wonderful, this country scenery.
Yes, hair-drying is not so painless as it should be. For me it is also very painful to do such simple things like peeling potatos when standing in front of the sink. Ouch!
JudeLauren, it is interesting what you said about the pain after the physio. The problem is that you usually do not have enough time to relax after the treatment because the next patient is waiting. But I'll tell her tomorrow about that.
For me, at the moment, the most terrible thing is the mental picture in my hand that I will never ever be able to move and behave like a healthy 50-year old woman. This totally knocks me off. I'm sitting here in front of this computer and the pain starts creeping and swelling at my neck and behind my ear and I think that this must be somebody else's nightmare.
Due to the Hashimoto desease I have already pain in all of my muscles and am often tired. I am used to that but the TOS is too much. I hate people who complain all day long about their - not serious - ailments but then I find myself standing in the kitchen and the tears start running down my face. I feel so inadequate as a mother who is always tired and a wife who walks around with an arm hanging around as being paralyzed for fear that the pain comes again when moving normally. I always think that I could damage muscles, the plexus or I don't know what when using the arm and the muscles like a healthy human being.
When I will have finished the physio - still two times to go - then I will start the Sharon Butler self-care program. I - again - put all my hopes into that.
Well, now I'll go picking up our son who is doing a combat sport. I always tell him: Dear son, do not walk around like your mother, your head forward and your poor back bent
. You will end up like me. He grumbles then but straightens up his head.
Dear new friends, I wish you all the best for a good night, no pain, no bad thoughts.
Monica
