Well loyal readers, the doc went and decided to cut me open again. After a series of neck injections (steroids into my spine), my pain level has gone down immensely. And after a lot of physical therapy, my finger joints are beginning to de-stiffen. Sharma decided to go ahead and schedule another surgery to remove the scar tissue and detangle the nerves inside my wrist. This should give me some more movement, and possibly get my hand back to functional status. He even said that he'd try to make the incision in the same place as before, to minimize more permanent scarring. There's only one downside... One of the worries of RSD/CRPS is that it will flare up again after every surgery. whomp whomp whaaaaa...
So he scheduled the surgery................................ for TOMORROW. (Monday)
I'll let you all know how it goes.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI had almost the exact same injury on 10/10/10. Please contact me at julia.dargan@gmail.com I would love to keep in touch with you. Also, I am starting a non-profit for similar injuries. I have found there is not a widew-spread support system for spaghetti-wrist injuries.
Thanks,
Julia
