great news guys.
or not...
today I woke up with with a tiny bit numbness now on my left hand. motherfucker!
It's so minor, but still what the fuck! numbness went away like half an hour after waking up once I started to move the hand. I immediately went to the emergency room because I want answers and I wanted to give them more info in case it helped them figure out the actual issue.This doc that saw me today barely gave a shit. I asked about diabetes since diabetes can cause similar issues with both hands. She immediately discarded that option and just said better check with your family doc and start wearing brace on your left hand. So now I gotta go to bed with 2 braces and sleep like a mummy.
Almost feels like my life hasn't started yet and it's now over. Feel like I won't be able to be a designer and much less go back to school in the fall for a degree in Industrial design. Feel this way because I hear both good and bad stories and coz docs don't give a shit.
I am starting to think about going on disability and focus on rehabilitation and physiotherapy to stop this shit right fucking now and learn how to stay healthy.
- tingling and numbness is usually nerves that lost flexibility from computer position. Try nerve glides (stretching)-do it very slow and careful many times a dayrobotron3k
- Nerve tightness causes numbness will be in 2.5 fingers, pinkie, index and 1/2 the middle finger. And you right, docs don't care, you need diy.robotron3k
- Chill with the fatalism VM. I've had lots of hand surgeries and I can do everything I used to. You'll be fine. Go to a hand ortho specialist.mathinc
- ER docs don't give a shit because what you have is a long term chronic thing, not an open wound or broken leg.mathinc
- did you sleep with your wrist bended for all night?Bennn
- do the exercises!sea_sea
