I took some test...Oh, Lindsay, I know how you feel. I took some tests last December and they said my right hand is severe CT and my left is mild. They recommended surgery. I even picked up the lethal pain pills they prescribed for after surgery. But then I got Chicken Pox (that's another story) so I postponed surgery. I still need to reschedule which I probably will soon. My wrists and hands were doing fine until I went bowling a couple of weeks ago. Bad idea, now my right thumb is really sore. I never had severe pain that woke me up at night or anything like that so I didn't think it was that bad. Now, I'm trying to practice to do things with my left hand so it won't be so hard after surgery. You and me, we'll get through this, we're creative!Hugs!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962637600293404894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663179508159781545.post-39259518769281985102015-08-10T22:32:17.768-07:002015-08-10T22:32:17.768-07:00Love your description of the doctor performing tha...Love your description of the doctor performing that defining task.

I'm dealing with some stuff that has knocked me down of late, too. Yes, the moral of the story is to learn to be kinder to ourselves and that sometimes we just have to miss deadlines. And, btw, nice typing with the left hand, slowed you down, nary a typo in sight :-). Rest that hand Lindsay, dear. This is only a temporary setback, it WILL get better.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09800662004605408982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663179508159781545.post-34181430797846606652015-08-10T03:40:09.315-07:002015-08-10T03:40:09.315-07:00I hopped here from Sherry Ellison's blog post ...I hopped here from Sherry Ellison's blog post mentioning you. I suffered Carpel Tunnel back in '99. Mine came on much like yours, without warning. I was lucky because it was my left hand. I wore that brace too. I suggest that even when you can take it off during the day, you continue to wear it at night for a while. You may want to learn to use the mouse on your desktop with your left hand. You would be surprised how much rest that will give your right hand and it's really easy to conquer. I didn't notice where you live, but if you are in the U.S., be sure to mention this to your employer and have them make a Worker's Compensation report. They will send you to a specialist that will give you more and better instructions than what you got at the ER. It was the best thing I did and helped me to a speedy recovery. When you catch CT early, you usually don't need surgery anymore.
