of tears and yogi
I've been in so much pain lately.
I've had tendinitis in my right wrist for many years. I've gone to the doctor for it a few times. I went last year when the wrist pain was unbearable. The doctor had me change the height of my chair at work and it helped. I could deal with the pain.
In the past few weeks, the pain has increased so much. Since I fell down the stairs, my left wrist has been in pain more. And the pain in my right arm was no longer contained in my wrist/hand. It's going all the way up my arm and down my side. I cry at work when this happens. So, I went back to the doctor last week. He said that not only do I have tendonitis in my right wrist, but both my elbows are inflamed. He gave me these stretches to do and I have to go to therapy.
I've been doing the stretches now for over a week. They are helping my wrist pain! It's making the pain in my wrist/hand back to managble levels. However, they are causing pain throughout my arm. In fact, when I've been at work, my left arm has hurt worse than my right, and my right is the one that is usually in the most pain. I think I preferred the pain just being contained to my wrist. I can deal with that and not cry all the time. But when it's both my arms and I can't find a position where there isn't pain, it makes the 8 hours at work unbelievably difficult.
I just don't want to be in pain anymore. It's not just using a computer that causes me pain. Even reading a book hurts. I've decreased my home computer usage greatly, but even the hour or so I do use it causes me pain. I'm in pain right now. I'm wearing a wrist brace on my right wrist (I always do when using the computer), but my left is kinda twingy (I use a left brace at work when the twinging becomes constant), but my right elbow is killing me. I just don't understand.
I have tendinitis so long, I don't even remember what it's like to use a computer and not have pain. Bah.
In other, non-complaining news...
There's been a bear in town (on the other side of town where I used to live) that's been wreaking havoc on people's bee hives. It's even been on the news!
Uhh that's about it. Not much goes on in my life, you see. I did get a random computer lap desk in the mail from Barnes & Noble. I didn't order it, nor was I charged for it. So! If you had it sent to me, thanks!
