[Nfb-krafters-korner] need to get practice

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

Becky;
Any advice for someone with possible trigger finger.  I am having trouble bending my finger.  Need to go and get a splint, today.  How fun, having to use it at convention.  She finally said I could use it at night.  I said, how can I use my cane or walker, with that on my hand?  She would not give me a cortisone shot.  Have to go for therapy after convention, how fun!
Always something!
I bet I over did it, trying to do to many crafts for conventions.  
Could be imflation or B12 problems, too.
Nothing is keeping me home on the big 75!!!

Terry P

Joyce, soak that wrist and move it slowly in the warm water. Lay it on a pillow to sleep especially the first couple of nights. But soak and move the fingers bend the wrist slowly. Then practice out of the water moving the fingers and gently bending the wrist. Then get it right back in the splint.
The pain will go away faster and you will get better mobility faster. But slowly, gently. Also great you are rubbing the cream in. Massage the cream in slowly carefully to loosen those fingers and wrist. Just take your time.


Warm hugs,
Becky and the most excellent Jake

This darn Outlook freezes up and don't let me keep typing.  It seems like everytime I get an email and the little music plays.

I need to practice how to type again without the heavy thing.  Man, my arm feels so light now.
