The surgery hand is doing well, besides some aches and niggles, and mainly stiffness, around the Knuckles of the first two fingers. It’s clearly the weather causing the new pains.

The brace is back on the unoperated on hand, which had a steroid injection 17 weeks ago. It’s becoming painful not just in some movements, but also at rest. So it makes sense to wear the brace to keep the major pains at bay. My head says roll on surgery time, but we have a few months wait yet.

Check out my stretches Here I’ve been having a go on the next size up of resistance, loads harder to do, so less reps for now.

I’m also newly back to yoga, so it’s being put through its paces with downward facing dogs, planks and mountain top positions. I’m so glad I can do it. I’m not as stable as I was, but I’m up, and I hope I can only get stronger and better at it.
