Ouch, it still hurts!

Well, that's not quite true. My hands still hurt from time to time but on the whole they are better. Anyway, I can't use that as an excuse for not writing my blog, but one thing is my hands are, so much so I think it takes about four times longer to write anything.

But my hands still hurt so I talked to my neurologist about it and there is little that can be done wihtout getting quite invasive. Treatment options so far include wearing wrist braces, frequent exercise, not sleeping on my hands and not letting my hands get tired from using them for fine motor skills etc.

On the medical side I can either ramp up my steroid input or carpel tunnel surgery may help. Either of which is not a great option so I am going for the non medical alternatives. I have already increased my exercise by going swimming and got some wrist braces. Anyway, I'll keep you posted on how it all goes.

Until next time, stay well:)
