It’s been a WHOLE week without a cast, I can’t begin to tell you how much better it feels being free!

Since Wednesday I’ve had my official physio exercises which admittedly massively exhausted me at first, and increased pain too. A couple of times I’ve had that same needle sharp pain, it’s exactly where you can physically feel the wire or pin under the skin. Hopefully it happens less and less over time.

I seem to have a lot of tenderness, and pain in the inner forearm, not sure why. Definitely didn’t have this last time, so it’s a new one on me. Though this arm often has a weakness around the elbow, so perhaps it’s a tendonitis of sorts. Icing and resting when I can, while doing all these exercises too.

I wear the black splint at night, but I’m not sure I actually need it. But it does give an assurance that I can’t catch the thumb in the night. So it’s worth wearing for that peace of mind.

Reading back over my 9 week post from my left CMC joint fusion, it feels I’m doing a lot better pain wise Available here as I’m just taking Etoricoxib and tramadol, and cannabis oil but these are mostly for back hips elbows.
