pain in wrist and hand

Okay, I'm pretty sure I have broken my baby toe... I slammed it so hard into a door frame yesterday... :( fell to the ground in pain! today it is no better and IM such a baby haha. Do you know to just buddy tape it? I know they dont do much at doctors and I dont have insurance yet through my MTSO so I'd rather try to deal with it on my own, been icing it. Along those lines... my wrists used to wear out a few years ago first, but now it is the top of my left hand, in betwe ...

I'm once again having wrist pain in my dominant hand which is worse at the end of my shift. I took a week off to completely rest it and it helps, but it still hurts whenever I most my thumb, at the base into the top of the radius. Does anyone have this problem? I had carpal tunnel surgery 10 years ago, but don't have the same numbness as I did before that surgery. I tried switching my mouse to the left hand, but it still hurts especially whenever I use the space ...

I have started developing wrist pain and am panicking!! I need my arms!! fully functional!! Do I have to stop working or risk damaging something permanently? or is it enough to modify my workstation and get a splint, and hope things get better soon?? ...

I fell last week and hurt my right hand. There's no fracture, just a soft tissue injury, but now I'm having a lot of aching in one finger and the wrist. Till my medical appt., any suggestions of what I can do? ...

Okay, I've been doing MT work for about 25 years and never had much of a problem with my wrists that a little R&R didn't fix. Lately, I've been having pain that seems to start in my wrists, causes my wrists and fingers on both hands to swell, and the pain seems to travel up both of my arms to my shoulder region. It hurts to even reach overhead to change my shirt. Has anyone else experienced this? I do editing most of the day, which might be why I've ne ...

I have had CTS for over 20 years but a new symptom has me questioning RA or OA. I'm waking up with pretty bad hand and wrist pain, numbness and extreme weakness bilaterally. I could not even turn on the light this morning due to lack of sensation. It is most in the right (and I sleep on the right side) but in both hands. The most affected fingers are thumb, index and middle. Lying there moving the hands doesn't help but once and get up and move around the pain subsides quickly. ...

I've had severe CTS, mostly in the right hand for 20+ years. In recent weeks I have been waking up with severe hand pain, mostly in the middle, ring and little finger so bad I can barely make a fist. After getting up and moving around the pain subsides. I haven't had the pain before and wonder if this is the CTS or something else. I do mostly editing but it seems to bother me after doing a bunch of transcriptions the day before. ...

I had the injection on Monday for tenosynovitis of the wrist. As most of you indicated, it was painful, but it did not last as long as I thought. Prior to the appointment I had myself fooled into thinking he would inject the wrist in the snuffbox area. I guess that was wishful thinking. I did not look at what he was doing, but when I felt him push on the needle I knew it was going through a much "harder" structure. He asked me if I heard a "po ...

About five weeks ago I was cleaning my chairs and sofa with a small Bissel cleaner, and really overdid it. I have been diagnsed with de Quervain's tenosynovitis of the right wrist. I tried anti-inflammatory medication which only worked for a day, then back to bad pain again. My doctor started me on a course of prednisone, which I took for ten days to no avail. I am scheduled for an appointment with a hand specialist. I know they sometimes do s ...

Can anyone out there recommend a wrist support that actually works while you type? I don't mind if it's a little expensive, I just need it to allow me to type while giving my wrists the support it desperately needs. I use one while I sleep but it's too constricting to type with. Okay...going to take some ibuprofen now for this pain:) ...

Indiana Michigan Power has requested permission from the state to raise overall electric rates 14 percent due to the environmental mandates placed by the EPA. "All electric utility providers, including I&M, are facing “a multitude of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations” that include rules to cut emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides as well as rules to control coal ash handling and disposal, and to regulate water usage and discharge from power p ...

Hey, m'lovely MT sisters, I suspect I have bursitis in my right shoulder. It started as pain in my right arm biceps area and I had an odd rash in the area, so to be honest I was afraid it might have been shingles (never had them, but heard they're very painful). Ladies, it's been about 6 weeks and it's still freakling painful, but I believe I was wrong on precisely where the pain was originating. I believe it's emanating at my right shoulder joint. I&# ...

hey guys, I've only be typing for over a year and my hips bug me all the time! its not my chair and its not the way I sit, i've had this checked on...I do get up regularly and try to stand for a little bit, walk to the bathroom, get a snack, etc. Any suggestions for exercises? I usually get a massage too, its a sacrifice (money wise) but it totally helps. She's given me some exercises too but i feel I just need some more...She usually jabs her elbow into my hips and it relieves th ...

I have been an MT/QA for 24 years. I have fibromyalgia, arthritis, have had bilateral carpal tunnel release, and I have cervical impingement. I tried a new product called Evolv enhanced water beverage which has a formula called Archaea Active. It claims to "promote a healthy inflammatory response." Honestly, I was skeptical about it, but I am here to testify that this is truly a Godsend!! It was explained to me that it increases oxygen at the cellular level and ...

For the last couple weeks, whenever I go to bed, if I am on my back or side, I awaken several times with pain in my right calf and knee, if I turn on my stomach it goes away. The first couple hours I am up in the morning it is painful, cannot put my right leg over my left, cannot cross my leg to put on my shoes because it immediately causes a sharp pain to shoot through my leg. Cannot bend over because of the same. After moving around about two hours it is okay pretty much the ...

You guys probably don't remember but I'm the person who posted about hip/butt pain a few months back. Doc said it was bursitis, took no xrays or anything just said that was what it was. Well fast forward to today. i have been jogging lately...went jogging and got home and the pain in my hip was terrible. sitting is ok but moving hurts. I sneezed just now and my hip hurt. Any idea what it could be? This is different from the butt/back side of my hip p ...

I'm getting stale cigarette smoke coming through the air vent in my apartment, from the people in the apt. above me. Our building property manager won't do a thing, and I do NOT want to approach my neighbors personally, cause I'm not good at this kind of thing and would probably make things worse. Would an air cleaner or purifier do anything for this kind of problem? I'd buy anything within reason, if it would help reduce the smoke smell. Any advice most ...

I found another website. Just as I'm going to be open minded about issues democrats proprose I am also going to be equally open minded abut issues republicans proprose. Since I didn't see any posts below (and granted I've been out this weekend), I found antoher site equally interesting thought I would share. I still feel same way conseverate, liberal and indepdent depending on what issue is being discussed. But here is the other side I found if anyone is inter ...

Do you ever wonder why the gas prices are up and down? There is still about the same amount of gas out there (although it is a finite resouce that is going away) and we are still using about the same, more or less, with our more efficient vehicles. The price fluctuates because the Wall Street traders can make it fluctuate. They do this so they can make money. In 2008, (Bush Administration, by the way) the prices were over $4.00 a gallon. The Obama administratio ...

Hi. I actually have a health question related to transcribing! I've transcribed for over 25 years and have had no problems other than tight neck and shoulders; no hand, wrist or arm pain. Recently my company changed from cassettes to digital, so I'm using a sllightly different type of food pedal. I can't believe this would make a difference, but I don't know what else could cause this problem ... shin pain. Firs ...

I've been MTing for about 7+ months now. I've been getting a lot of stiffness in my neck. I wear a Philadelphia collar now. What's going on!!?? I work 6 hours a day. I'm only 22 so I don't think it arthritis. ...

Does anyone else get leg cramping/aching while they type?? I used to get them when I started and then it went away, but lately its been getting me again especially in my upper outer thigh. Its not so much an instant leg cramp sensation, just more of a achy feeling (like if you're on a plane) that does go away after I stand up. Any suggestions?? ...

Have any of you MT'ers had SI joint pain? I have been suffering with it for about two years now. Doing chiropractic treatments, massage, and PT. I am beginning to think an injection may be an answer. I haven't tried an inversion table either. Any thoughts??? ...

My low back pain has become more and more limiting over the past couple of years. I sit with a heating pad on my back all day. Ibuprofen helps once in a while, but I don't want to take meds on a routine basis. What do you do to relieve your back pain? ...

I participated in water aerobics and about a week later woke up with a painful boob and this has been going on for about 4-5 days. So, I'm thinking I pulled something. Never had this before. Now, I am obese so the boobs are more like jugs. Aso for the past month I have been taking those raspberry ketone pills as seen on Doc Oz, and noticed they were working, with a loss of tummy fat and my boops-while they did not shrink-they more like 'emptied ou ...

Has anyone out there had experience with going to a pain management doc? What was your experience, good or bad? Thanking you in advance. ...
