Oooft this poor hand and wrist has been through it, and while it’s been amazing, I have put this fusion through it. So far we’ve done 3 weeks of daily yoga, and it’s been making the wrist ache, and the thumb pad swell. But compression gloves and resting on hot water bottles have helped.

It’s not terrible and certainly nothing like pre op, just aches to note down and keep an eye on. I have to admit I’ve been impressed that I’ve been doing planks and downward facing dogs. So I can’t complain.

Due to the weather and cold snap we’ve had, I’ve noticed the swelling returning to the finger knuckles as well, so overall arthritis has been kicking my ass this week 😔

Pre op hand is a whole different story, it’s immensely painful and starting to give way again when I hold things, or sting when I try to plug phone chargers in 🙄 roll on surgery date.
