When this first started and Ortho thought it was something that needed imobilization and pulling my thumb away from my hand and stopping me from carrying it claw like, I was given a brace that immobilized my wrist and thumb...
I have been in extreme pain lately and I'm tired. Tired of hurting. And I just don't want my thumb to even twitch( funny how my thumb hurts way more that my wrist which is supposed to be the worst part)
I tried to wear my brace today but my forearm and wrist and hand are so swollen it doesn't fit right and wearing it is hard to tolerate, but if I can work through that do you think it would be detrimental to immobilize it just till the 8th when I get my next block?
I've read braces are a no no, but would it be short turn? I just have nothing that even takes the edge off this pain right now. My gabapentin just seems to be doing very little anymore and I of course didn't bother to ask about that or tell the dr last week when I saw her. I just got excited about the future plans.. And I get very nervous for some reason asking about changing doses or meds..
