Thanks guys

I am really pleased because today I have a "real" illness/problem with a fancy name! [:P][:P]

Makes a change from the usual "oh that will be anxiety related"

Now let's see if I can fix it so I can get some sleep!

So glad you got it sorted Nic,

My brother as you know has the same problem I have just phoned him and he wears a wist splint and it really does help. He has also had the anti inflammatory injection last year and it took it away completely.

Well Done for getting a diagnosis Nicola. Im sure your relieved that you now know what the gripe is, and hopefully the splint will help to reduce the pains you get during the night. And If nothing else, it will make hitting Alex a lot easier!

Good Luck

Thanks for the replies.

I will wear the splint at night and see how it goes as that is when it is the worst.

Ross - as if I would hit Alex lol. I can make him suffer in other ways - like not cooking!!

I can imagine some of the comments you may get at work about the reason for having to wear a splint on an overused wrist [:I]

Love Piglet xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Last night I came home to an answer machine message saying can I go today at 2.15 pm to see someone.

Short notice or what?

Anyway I went along and the first thing that confused me was that I was sat opposite him and he said "which hand causes the problem". So I raised my left arm and said "this one" and he said "ok, is that the right or left arm" [:P][:O]

Ummmmmmm was it that hard?

Anyway .....

He asked me some really important questions like what job I did, what I was allergic to, had I had heart,lung, bone problems etc etc and how old was I - cos the form said i was born in 1916 not 1966[:P][:P]

Then all the medication questions blah blah

Then I woke up [Sigh...] and he gave me a wrist splint to wear at night and some exercises to do 3 times a day.

I have to go back in 3 weeks to see if it helps.

The thing is that I find it hard to put the wrist spilt on alone - I am sure it can be done - but it is fiddly and I need to get it on right at night.

So will let you know how it goes and whether I sleep or not!

Firstly, are you sure it wasnt 1916 you were born?

Secondly, What type of excercises? Is Alex Happy?

Thirdly, Place the splint on the table, rest your arm onto it, and pull the velcro straps across with your gob (its big enough) and use your other hand to fasten them.

Anyways, its been nice being part of this forum, I will now be banned :(
