I don't feel fine.
I was in a motorcycle accident a few years ago and landed hard on my right arm. I didn't break anything, but I had all my weight land come down on it. I was on light duty at my warehouse job for a while and eventually it started working okay again, but now I can pop my neck, back and every joint in my arm, which I couldn't before.
Lately I've been having problems where my fingers go numb or cold at work since I'm on the computer ten hours a day at this job. I got it checked out and they originally said tendonitis and gave me a wrist brace and some 800mg ibuprofen and scheduled physical therapy for me.
Today was my first session, and during one of the stretches something slipped and my thumb went numb. Still is on one bit, has been for hours now. The doctor copped a feel up and down my arm and said the joints in my wrist aren't hooked together very well because of damage from the wreck and overworking it. She could put a little pressure on it, and besides nearly dropping me you could hear bones cracking against each other. She says stretching will help with the pain but this isn't going to get better. Basically, everything is sliding around loose in there and occasionally pinching nerves.
I'm worried, because my career - both professionally and musically - would be severely FUBAR'd if this continues to get worse at the rate it currently has. I'm not so quick at typing with my left hand, but I have enough painkillers in me at the moment that this isn't too bad.. but I can't work like this, I tried.
I dunno what I'm hoping for. I just wanted to talk to someone, and nobody is here. :binkybaby:
