For those of you who don't know, my left wrist has been giving me trouble for years. I've been putting off dealing with it mostly due to health insurance issues combined with a hefty dose of being lazy.
Anyways, it's been getting so bad the last few months I decided to actually do something about it. Finally got an MRI done on it (x-rays always show nothing) and there's some pretty messed up shit going on in there. There's a cyst / tumor on the right side of my wrist, tendon damage, and bone damage in both the tarsals and at the end of my ulna. The doc I met with didn't like the guy who did the review of my MRI so he's having it sent back and re-reviewed by someone he knows, just to get a better idea of what's going on. I might be looking at surgery but I'll see what alternative therapy I can do plus the doctor said something about a shot that works "in 50% of cases"... probbly a cortizone shot. Knowing me that won't work though : (
