Hipster

Hippie girl, going through recovery, and life. Follow my journey of Spiritual growth and health.

The increased wet damp weather, has brought increased pains and aches sadly. A tightness at times, and also a general ache/nag. Could be a million times worse, and had been so it’s not a negative post, just an observation.

I’ve had countless metal in the hips too, and they’ve increased in pains and aches too as the weather turns, I know damp and rainy weather isn’t my bodies friend. So to combat it, I’ve upped the hot water bottles again, and been active in physiotherapy.

Thumb outside fist easy to make
How the scar looks now
Thumb inside fist not as easy to do
Stretching the hand out helps, I do this a few times a day, often swells up base of first two fingers
The most it will stretch and bend

I’ve also been attempting to exercise my opposite hand, as it’s now the weakest of the two, and it’s my dominant hand.

Straight away it’s collapsing at the MCP joint
The thumb is so weak
Because the joint has collapsed I can’t extend it at all on the lightest resistance
