are you in any pain today?

[Mendalla]

Between a bad back and arthritis in my hands, rare is the day I don't have at least a bit of pain. But most days aren't bad, just twinges here and there. Which describes today so far.

Just my sides, and my one foot.

My hand it is really bad today .

My hand has gotten worse, and the only thing that might help is to rest it for a few days.

Some movements are really difficult, and I might need to switch to wearing a dress instead of pants. Today, I struggled to pull up my pants after using the bathroom because that movement is hard for me. It took forever.

If I were alone, I might just walk around without clothes.

I guess all I can do is laugh about it. I guess I need to grab that wine I mentioned earlier

Such a DRAG!
Have you considered either trying exercises at home; or, maybe seeking physical therapy to help this?

IDEAS ?

Thanks for the great ideas!


I just need to gather myself and address the issue. My palm on one hand has been swollen 24/7 for years, and I usually don't have much feeling there.

Years ago, when I went to the doctor because it hurt, they said it was probably tendonitis and advised me to avoid overusing my hand to prevent potential surgery.
I never looked further into it, so I'm not entirely sure if that's the case. Over the years, I've dropped and broken so many plates because sometimes I can't even feel if my hand is closed
it's gotten pretty bad, whatever it is.


What's concerning me now is that for about a year, I've had issues with my arm, which may be related to the hand problem or could be something separate.

A few months ago, it was really bad and lasted for a while, but then it improved, so I didn't seek further treatment.
I thought it might have been due to fatigue or a temporary strain. However, yesterday it started acting up again, and it feels worse than before. It seems like the issue never fully resolved, so I need to find out if it's all connected or if it's a new problem altogether.

No , work it harder

Yeah, that's pretty bad; sounds like it's one of those those things that's just not going to go away without some good professional attention.
Hope you have a good 'primary' doctor who can steer you in the right direction. Seems to me that there could be so many causes & you've endured it long enough.

We do so much with our hands that it's hard to avoid using them anyways

Nope, I'm not in any kind of pains today. As a matter of fact, I feel very good. I'm enjoying my life and also taking good care of my baby girl.
