I started a second dospak of steroids this week...hopefully this will help get me back to baseline with the pain in my hands.

I got the report from the therapist today and it confirms that I am unable to perform even part time sedentary work. Although I knew that this was true...it was actually very hard to read it in black and white. Fingers crosses, this report that has put me in a bad flare up for 3+ weeks now will be worth it and help me successfully appeal the long term disability denial. I also hope that it will help with my work comp claim as well...though I anticipate that a resolution on that front is a lot further away.
